Twenty Second Sunday After Pentecost
God of Grace and Mercy, you call us to be servants in your Son’s holy name. While popular culture often diminishes self-sacrifice, we know that being a servant leader is a worthwhile calling. Help us to focus on the Christian practice of hospitality by freely giving to others in your name. Accept this offering as a profound gesture of our desire to serve you today and always. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. Mark 10:35-45
