PRAYER OF THE DAY
O God, you came to bring us abundant life through Jesus. As your Spirit teaches us what the good life looks like, help us to be caretakers of all that is entrusted to us: our time, our talents, and our treasure. We pray this is Jesus’ name, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

CHILDREN’S MESSAGE

READING
Matthew 6:19-21

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
