Resources for October 11, 2020 -- Thanksgiving Sunday

PRAYER FOR GRACE
God of Grace, help us to remember.
Help us to remember the times we have been blessed.
Help us to recognize the gifts that fill our lives.
God of Grace, help us to be thankful.
Open our lips in songs of praise and thanksgiving
Open our hearts in prayers steeped in deep gratitude
God of Grace, help us to be generous
Move us to respond to your abundance by paying it forward
Move us to give from what we have to enrich the world around us.
...time of silent prayer...
God calls us to remember, to be thanks-filled, to be generous. With Grace God encourages us to live out that call.
Thanks be to God: the Giver and the Gift, who challenges us to live lives of memory, gratitude, and generosity. Amen.

COMMISSIONING:
We have prayed, we have listened, we have opened ourselves to God’s presence.
Now we go out to live as people who remember, who are thankful, who pledge to share God’s gifts with the
world where we live and love.
Go with God, the Gift Giver; with Christ, the Gift; and with the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to be gift givers and gifts in our own way. Be Blessed and be a Blessing.
Amen
