Call to Offering

If you would like to write your own call to offering, please feel free to do so. Otherwise, use one of these:

Always begin the Call to Offering with these words:

Let us return to God the offerings of our life and the gifts of the earth.

Then read one of the following:

The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.

Freely you have received, freely give.

The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly; the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

Give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Do good and share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus: It is more blessed to give than to receive.
