Lead us to a better life-- a life free from the dark shadows of doubt, fear, and hatred.
Oh Lord, our God, please accept this money from our pockets given for the work of your Kingdom.

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” This gift is most precious to us and we cherish it. It feeds us with the true food.
The food that is on this table is an outward reminder of a different kind of nourishment. This nourishment is truly the food of life of which Jesus spoke.
