Prayer
Generous
God, you claim and redeem us through the love of Jesus. Strengthen us through
your Word to be a people who share our love as food for the hungry, water for
the thirsty, lifesaving aid for those in crisis, and hope for our neighbors
near and far. We pray all these things through Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Savior. Amen.
