A Prayer of Generosity

​

Lord,

You have called us to serve,

not just with our hands,

but with our hearts and our blessings.

All that we have comes from You.

Help us to give not out of habit,

but with intention, purpose, and love.

Inspire us to share more,

to grow in generosity,

and to strengthen our parish.

May our giving reflect our gratitude,

and may it build up Your Church

for the glory of Your name.

Amen.

It encourages them to reflect on their offertory giving, make or renew a commitment, update their contact information, and note whether they give online. It also provides space to include personal prayer intentions.

We can help your parish send a postcard to every household, inviting parishioners to take part in Called to Serve. A simple postcard is an easy way to remind families of the importance of intentional offertory giving and encourage them to make or renew their commitment.
