First United Methodist Church

Prayer of the Week
Merciful God of New Beginnings, on this day of dust and devotion, we return to you, seeking clean hearts and renewed spirits. We offer these gifts as signs of our desire to be reconciled-not only to you, but to one another and to a world aching for healing. Receive what we bring-our resources, our repentance, and our resolve-as tools you may use to mend what is broken, build what is needed, and proclaim your redeeming love. Strengthen us to walk this Lenten journey together, shaped by grace, grounded in community, and sustained by hope. In the name of Christ, our reconciliation and peace. Amen.
