Almighty and ever faithful Lord,
gratefully
acknowledging Your mercy and
humbly
admitting our need,
we pledge our trust in You.
Filled with desire,
we respond to Your call
for discipleship
by shaping our lives
in imitation of Christ.
We profess
that the call requires us
to be stewards of Your gifts.
As stewards,
we receive Your gifts gratefully,
cherish and tend to them
in a responsible manner,
share them in practice
and love with others,
and return them
with increase to the Lord.
We pledge to our
ongoing formation as stewards
and our responsibility
to call others
to that same endeavor.
Almighty and ever faithful God,
it is our fervent hope
and prayer that You
who have begun
this good work in us
will bring it to fulfillment
in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
