Blessing of the Pledge Cards

God of the Broken-Open, God of the Hard-Hearted, Loving God of us all however we come, we bring before you the pledges of our people. 

We thank you for the blessings of this life, of your gifts to us we give back to you. In faith, may we give with thankful hearts. In hope, bless them to your honor and glory in the coming year. In love, guide us to share your love. 

Inspire us to do the work you have given us to do. Encourage us in our weakness. Break open those things which we hold back, so that in the fullness of you we can live, and thrive, and grow. We thank you, Lord, and we commit ourselves, our full selves, our time, talents, and treasure, to you. 

Take these gifts and bless them in the name of Jesus your Christ. Amen.
