- God of Past, Who by Your Spirit
God of past, who by Your Spirit, led Your people through each age, may we learn from their example by their faith our doubts assuage. May their steadfast resoluteness as they followed in Your way be for us an inspiration as we serve the present day.
God of present undertakings, give us wisdom as we build for our service in Your kingdom, that Your purpose be fulfilled. May our vision be far-reaching, and our work by You decreed, that in building for the present, we discern tomorrow’s need.
God of hope, to Whom our service is entrusted for the day when Your kingdom is established and all people know Your way, by the leading of Your Spirit guide us now, new faith instill, that we face the future boldly for the doing of Your will.

Offertory Anthem
- Make Us Your Church
Make us Your church, a beacon of hope to all the world.
Make us Your church, a light of Your love.
From generation to generation make us Your church.
Keep us Your church, forever Your faithful servants true.
Keep us Your church, a humble witness pure.
Like those who went before us,
through us, for those to come: make us Your church.
The church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord;
she is His new creation, by water and the Word;
from heaven He came and sought her to be His holy bride;
with His own blood He bought her, and for her life He died.
We are Your church, You’ve bound us forever in Your love.
We are Your church, all woven into one.
Like those who went before us,
through us, for those to come,
from generation to generation, we are Your church.
