Stewardship Prayer

Oh Lord, giver of life and source of our freedom,
   yours is the earth in its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it.
We know that it is from your hand that we have received
   all we have, all we are, all we will be.
Gracious and loving God,
   we understand that you call us to be the stewards of your abundance,
   the caretakers of all you have entrusted to us.
Help us always to use your gifts wisely
   and teach us to share them generously.
May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives.
We pray this with grateful hearts in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Stewardship Vow

My church is composed of people like me; I help make it what it is.
          It will be friendly, if I am.
          Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them.
          It will do great work, if I work.
          It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver.
          It will bring other people into its worship and fellowship, if I invite and bring them.

It will be a church of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, and a church with a noble spirit,
             if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.

Therefore, with the help of God, I shall dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my church to be.
