4. God of all blessings,
source of all life,
giver of all grace:
We thank you for the mystery of creation,
for the beauty that the eye can see,
for the joy that the ear may hear,
for the unknown
that we cannot behold, filling the universe with wonder;
for the expanse of space
that draws us beyond the definitions of our selves.
For these, and all blessings,
we give you thanks, eternal, loving God,
through Jesus Christ we pray.
Amen. Read more: http://www.beliefnet.com/Prayers/Christian/Gratitude/Prayer-Of-

For DDBC, it’s an opportunity…
• to apply what you have learned
• to create a final project that shows how you are
integrating technology in your ministry
It will be…
• your “crowning achievement, point, element, or
event.”
• “the final stroke; the culmination or acme”
