Gracious God,
You are the source of life and growth, for you are the Vine, and we are the branches. Through this opportunity before us, deepen the roots of our discipleship, stewardship, and commitment. Move graciously upon this endeavor as we seek to enhance our capacity to transform lives and keep the vulnerable safe.
May what we commit as individual gifts, build upon, honor, and reflect the faith of those who have gone before us, the faith of those among us now, and those who will one day tend and cultivate this shared ministry of grace.
As we widen your vineyard of welcome and belonging, thank you for the gift of growing us together. We trust you to bless our journey with fruitfulness only you can impart.
In Christ, the True Vine, we pray, AMEN.
