Offering Prayer: Proper 16 B

Here’s a prayer of dedication inspired by 1 Kings 8, the dedication of the Temple by King Solomon. It was written by Katherine Hawker.

Prayer of Dedication

Gather the gifts of our hands and hearts, living Spirit.
Use these gifts to build not monuments to your distant glory,
but testaments to your intimate love. Amen.
