Opening Prayer
Liberating God, in Christ You do not add weight to weary hearts but lift what crushes us. As we gather, loosen the burdens of fear, shame, and brokenness we carry. Help us receive the grace that heals what is shared and wounded among us, and follow the One who restores rather than condemns. Amen.

Our Father-Mother, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Merciful God redeemer, we bring these offerings not as payment, but as gratitude for what You release from our lives. Use what we give to lessen harm, mend what is fractured, and ease the weight carried by our neighbors. Shape our generosity into a sign of freedom, reflecting the grace that removes burdens and makes room for new life. Amen.
