Offering Meditation for Proper C17 – 31-Aug-25
31-Aug-25 (Luke 14:1,7-14)
A big part of the work of the Church is showing through our actions that all people should be valued, all people should be considered, all people should be actively welcomed and embraced.
We do this in many different ways, but one of the more important is helping those in need, comforting those who are sick and hurting, and actively remembering those who are forgotten and marginalized in our societies.
Your offering is one way to reach out past your own abilities and into the wider world, allowing others to carry the important message of God's love for all in word and deed.
Consider giving generously to help make that happen.
Prayer:
God who shows us your love by bringing your presence, justice, and mercy to us in our needs, help us to be your presence in the world as we share your love in our words and deeds.
Bless these gifts and the givers that the world will know your love.
In the name of Jesus, our Risen Lord, Amen.
