"Give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to." (Deuteronomy 15:10)

Let us pray: Father, we come to Your holy presence with humble hearts to express our gratitude for your blessings this whole year but most of all, we are here to celebrate the birth of your son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Father, we pray that as we give You our offerings and tithes this morning may we learn how to be more compassionate, understanding and sensitive to the needs of others. Teach us Lord to give without expecting any reward in return. And that whatever we give back to the society, may it glorify you and Christ even more. Amen.
