Congregation: Giver of all good gifts, we thank You for the gifts that
You have given us to serve the common good.
Forgive us for the times that we failed to use our gifts in a world
of division, pain, disease, and injustice.
Give us grace to use our gifts to bless, to heal, to teach,
and to edify each other, and build up Your kingdom.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

L: Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds.
C: Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
Your judgments are like the great deep; You save humans and animals alike, O Lord.
L: How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! All people may take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
C: They feast on the abundance of Your house, and you give them drink from the river of Your delights.

*Scripture
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (NIV)
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
2 You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not speak.
3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says
“Let Jesus be cursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except by the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit;
5 and there are varieties of services, but the same Lord;
6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who activates all of them in everyone.
7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom,
and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits,
to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
11 All these are activated by one and the same Spirit, who allots to each one individually
just as the Spirit chooses.
