This morning we gathered to dedicate our gifts and pledges for 2014 — and to celebrate all that they will make possible in our ministry together.  It was a blessing to see members of our community come forward with their offerings, and to feel the presence of so many others.

Bless us, Lord, as we walk in your way.  Bless our wealth and our want; our joys and our fears.  Strengthen and inspire us as we share what we have with this community, and with all of your creation.  Amen.
