DOXOLOGY #94 UMH PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
God, we give you thanks for the opportunity to offer to you our gifts and our service. On this Red Ribbon Sunday we give thanks to the many people who work with alcoholics and addicts. Their service has made relief from the effects of these spiritual diseases possible for so many. We are grateful that this church can be part of the solution in freedom from substance abuse, and we celebrate the miracles of grace and healing through recovery. Open our hearts and minds to new awareness, new understanding, and new action, that we might experience our own healing more deeply and grow in compassion as we serve others in your world. Amen.
