Our Father, 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
Offering
As we begin a time of offering our gifts and ourselves, consider the various organization, missions, and events that you are able to offer you time, talents, and money to during this time. The offering is a key part of worship because it reminds us that the God we have met this morning is a God on the move and a God at work in our world. Here are some links to click on that will direct you to several organizations that have online financial giving opportunities:
- Online Giving to Crandon and Argonne through the Wisconsin Annual Conference website
- New Hope Shelter and Transitional Housing
- United Methodist Committee on Relief
- CDC Foundation
If you wish to make a financial offering by writing a check, offerings to both St. Luke's and Argonne should be mailed to the office at St. Luke's (301 South Lake Ave, Crandon, 54520) or dropped in the outdoor mail slot next to the side entrance to St. Luke's.
Gracious and Giving God,
in this time of pandemic and distancing
continue to use us and guide us
to care for your people.
All that we have,
all that we are,
and all that we give are because you have first loved us.
Bless all the work of our hands,
the investments of our time,
and the fruits of our labors,
so that we may embody and extend
your grace, love, and mission to all our neighbors.
In the name of Jesus Christ we offer ourselves and we lift up this prayer.
Amen.
GOING FORTH IN GOD'S MISSION AND LOVE

Friends, there is hope and joy even though we are going through trials, and Christ is our hope and joy.
