*Opening Prayer:
Gracious and Generous God, you provide for us in the wilderness and pour out Your Spirit upon us. Just as you rained down manna for the Israelites, you rain down grace upon our lives. We come today not just to receive Your blessings, but to offer ourselves back to You. Transform our minds, that we may discern Your good and perfect will. Open our hands to share Your extravagant provision with a hurting world, and stir within us a desire to use the diverse gifts You have entrusted to us—whether in teaching, serving, encouraging, or leading—for the building up of Your church. Accept this time of worship as our reasonable service. In the holy and life-giving name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
