Our God, as ordained pastors, deacons, elders, commission members and leaders of Opportunity Presbyterian Church, we dedicate these financial pledges to address OPC’s Aztech loan obligation.
Bestow upon us, at the outset of this three-year obligation, certain gifts: the understanding of the need to repay our debts, the capacity to appreciate the extraordinary opportunity the Dahlmans have given to us, the readiness to ignite the possibilities that lie within our church, and the witness of your abundant grace in our actions.
On May 8, 2004, when we dedicated this building, we envisioned a commitment to make known the saving truths of the gospel. Thus, may our faith have feet and hands, and a voice and a heart, that we may minister to others. May they see that the gospel we profess shines in our faces and is practiced in our lives.
We thank you in the name of Jesus.
Amen

Thank you Bill, for so effectively articulating my hopes for OPC (in “readiness to ignite the possibilities that lie within our church, and the witness of your abundant grace in our actions”) and for my personal relationship with Christ in “May they see that the gospel we profess shines in our faces and is practiced in our lives.” Christ’s presence in my life should make a difference in the way I live – a difference that others can see – a difference that draws others to Him.
