We are in touch with our money.
We know the cool weight of loonies and toonies
and the crisp lightness of dollar bills.
Our smooth bank cards tell us what we have or owe.
We are in touch with our money!
Today we let go of this money,
we place it in the offering plate,
freeing it to do the work of the church in your name.
We remember that you put money into our hands.
You are the Great Provider,
the Giver of all Gifts,
your love the only true currency.
Accept these gifts in the name of Jesus, Amen.
I am a Mennonite pastor currently teaching theology at Conrad Grebel University College in Waterloo, Ontario. I’ve served congregations in Ontario and most recently, Alberta.
