*Offering Prayer

Creator God, how we long to experience those mountaintop encounters with you!

When we have been touched ourselves or have been witnesses to your presence, we

have, like Peter, sought a way to stay and dwell on the mountain. We know that is

not what you want. We know you want us back in the world, the world into which

you sent your Son as Savior. As we faithfully offer our gifts this morning, may they

be used to make your presence known to a hurting world – not just on mountaintops

or in clouds, but in the day by day world in which we live. We pray this in the blessed

name of your Holy Son.
