2nd Sunday of Advent
Holy God, as we offer our gifts today, we do so with hearts that long for your renewal. Just as John the Baptist called us to prepare the way of the Lord, we repent of the ways where we have failed to live faithfully. May these offerings be an outward sign of our desire to turn our hearts toward you, to bear good fruit, and to serve you with integrity. In the name of Christ, we pray. Amen. Matthew 3:1-12
