for use throughout the time after Pentecost
Seasonal Resources for the Time after Pentecost (Ordinary Time)

Although the liturgical year does not include a day for dedicating financial pledges, many
churches choose a day for this practice. The following litany may be used for such an occasion.
Litany of Dedication for Stewardship Pledges

Gracious God, creator of the world, giver of all that is good,
bless the gifts and the pledges we bring to you today.
These pledges represent our work, our hopes, and our dreams,
and we offer them in thanksgiving for all we have received.
May they be the first fruits of all we have,
and not what we have left over.
May we see these pledges as a sacred offering,
and not a gift of obligation or exchange.
May we use them wisely for your service,
to reflect your love to this city and this world.
May they move us to be more faithful disciples,
and energize us for lives of generosity.
In gratitude for the grace of God,
in the warmth of God’s hospitality,
and in the spirit of the generosity embodied by Christ,
We dedicate these pledges to the work of God.
Thanks be to God!
Alleluia! Amen.
