Invitation to Offering (OL)
Mighty and all-knowing God who sees us as we are and as we might be: What offering can we give that will bring you joy? We offer our gifts that you might dedicate them to the work of caring and compassion in our neighborhoods, in our nations, and throughout the world. Yet all the money we have can’t accomplish what you can make happen if we simply let Christ dwell in our hearts – not for an hour on Sundays but every hour of every day. This is the offering we dedicate this day. In Christ, our healer, we pray. Amen.

*Closing Hymn A Roman Centurion Sought Out the Lord (vs. 1, 2 & 3)
1. A Roman centurion sought out the Lord:
“My servant is suffering, but just give the word!
For I have authority; you have it, too.
I know he’ll be well with a blessing from you.”
2. Then Jesus responded to those who were near,
“There’s not, in God’s people, the faith I’ve found here.
And someday God’s kingdom will bring a surprise
With outsiders in and the heirs left outside.”
“There’s not, in God’s people, the faith I’ve found here.
And someday God’s kingdom will bring a surprise
With outsiders in and the heirs left outside.”
3. The Lord sent him home and it soon was revealed
That just at that moment, the servant was healed.
That outsider saw it; may we see it, too:
That Christ has the power to make our lives new.
That just at that moment, the servant was healed.
That outsider saw it; may we see it, too:
That Christ has the power to make our lives new.

Use these, our gifts, to make us a community that draws in, extends out, and welcomes all because our differences are blessings from you. Amen.
