As we reflect on Holy Week, please remember all the blessing that have come your way.  Please share some final blessings and prepare to share you little blue box of gratitude with others.  
United Thank Offering Blue Box Prayer:

Almighty God, I give you praise

Create in me a grateful heart
and with this gift a blessing start.
Amen
