Preparation of the Altar and the Gifts
Using handout one, invite each person in the room to identify which gifts they have to bring to the Liturgy.
The gifts we bring may be material, such as money or food for the hungry, but they may also be spiritual, such as memories, a desire to pray, and a love for our community, or a talent. The Offertory at Mass is an offering from US, not merely from those in the Offertory Procession. All of us bring what we have and offer it in these prayers.
