The Hymn of the Month

"Gracious God, You Send Great Blessing"

LSB, 782

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.   Lamentations 3:22 & 23

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:  whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies--in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.  To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever.  Amen

I Peter 4:10-11

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.  But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?  Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

1 John 3:16-18

Gracious God, You send great blessings

New each morning all our days.

For your mercies never ending,

For Your love we offer praise.

Lord, we pray that we, Your people

Who Your gifts unnumbered claim,

Through the sharing of Your blessings,

May bring glory to Your name.

In His earthly life, our Savior

Knew the care of faithful friends;

May our deeds of dedication

Offer love that never ends.

Lord, we pray that we, Your people

Who Your gifts unnumbered claim,

Through the sharing of Your blessings,

May bring glory to Your name.
