L: You are the Sower, O God. we are the seed

P: God's word is being sown in our lives this day with the promise of new growth.

L: You are the Lover, O God, we are the beloved.

P: God’s love blossoms in our lives with a beauty greater than the lilies of the field.

L: You are the Healer, O God, we are the healed.

P: God’s healing flows through our lives with every beat of our heart.

L: You are the Potter, O God, we are the clay.

P: God's hand fashions us to shine with the glory of Christ's light.

L: Come! let us worship the one who sows us in fields of love.

Dedication of the Offering                                            Alex Bautista

Like the field ready to harvest, our lives bear the marks of God’s love and care. May we, who bear the fruit of God's labor, rejoice as people who have been blessed with a bounty not of our making.

With love and thanksgiving, let us bring our tithes and offerings to those in need.
