Prayer of Invocation/Confession

O God, we come in a spirit of

thanksgiving, to worship You and

Praise You. You are the God who

provided manna in the wilderness for

Your people, and You offer Your

manna still. We are tempted to

congratulate ourselves for all we

have accomplished and all we have

created. Bring us to our senses, Lord.

Remind us that all we have and all

we are, is due to Your grace. Enable us

to recognize that You are the source

of all goodness. In this world there is

so much pain and suffering. Remind

us that the Gospel brings hope and

healing to all. We offer this prayer in

the name of Your Son, who taught us

to pray, that Your kingdom might

come. Amen.

Offer to God a sacrifice of

thanksgiving. Pay your vows to the

Most High. Call on me in the day of

trouble; I will deliver you, and you

shall glorify me.

Enter His Gates With Praise Page 2

OFFERTORY PRAYER O God, we pray many prayers, for many

causes, and we thank You for hearing us.

Now, we pray one more prayer; that You

would grant us grace to give our tithes,

mission gifts and sacrificial offerings, so

that Your name will be glorified and

people will be blessed. Thank You for

another chance and may we seize these

moments, in such a spirit of gratitude and

worship, that we all might be blessed.

May our faith be deepened and Your name

glorified, again and again. Amen.

He sent redemption to his people; he has

commanded his covenant forever. Holy

and terrible is his name! The fear of the

Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good

understanding have all those who practice

it. His praise endures forever!

Psalm 119:9-10

DEBIT CARD GIVING

tithes and offerings by also using your

debit card. Please visit Rm. 106 at the

“Grief Tool Box” - November 2014 “Practice Gratitude”

After experiencing a devastating loss, it is natural to wonder, “What could I possibly have to be grateful for right now?” After all, gratitude is something you feel when things are going well, and your time of grief is not such a time. Gratitude is what is expressed when you appreciate what is happening in your life, and appreciation is not likely something you feel in the aftermath of loss. Remember that loss is a part of life and grief does not only the result of death. You may have failed at something you wanted desperately, experienced a terrible divorce, or a relationship ended after many years of dating. Please take a few minutes with paper and pencil in hand and list where you can “Practice Gratitude”.

Look at relationships. Who is someone you appreciate having in your life right now? This could be a close friend, your spouse, teacher, parent, or sibling.

Look at the actions of others. What has someone done for you to offer encouragement or love that you appreciate? Let them know how you feel about their thoughtfulness with the words “thank you” or a beautiful card.

Look at the ordinary things in your life. What adds to your life of faith on a daily basis? I hope it is prayer, reading your bible and meditation, and taking care of body as well as those you love.

(Wolfelt, A. 2010, The mourners book of hope, Companion Press, p.141. modified) Scripture

“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you”. 1 Thessalonians 5: 16-18 KJV

Prayer Dear LORD, I am grateful for your love, mercy, and grace. Help me and others who have loss in so many ways Jesus to live a life of gratitude and hope. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
