PRELUDE
WELCOME AND ANNOUNCING THE DAY
THANKSGIVING FOR BAPTISM (stand)
P: Blessed be the holy Trinity,
one God, the fountain of living water, the rock who gave us birth, our light and our salvation.
C: Amen.
P: Joined to Christ in the waters of baptism, we are clothed with God’s mercy and forgiveness. Let us give thanks for the gift of baptism.
Water may be poured into the font as the presiding minister gives thanks.
We give you thanks, O God, O Living One, for you have created all, and you water the earth abundantly. Oceans and aquifers praise you. Rivers and streams bless you.
Here local bodies of water may be named.
All life is sustained by you, our Source.
We praise you for Christ, the firstborn from the dead, who frees us from sin and raises us up to new life. Here at this font we touch the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing through the city of God. Here, death is washed away forever. Here, we are grafted into the tree of life, with leaves for the healing of the world.
Pour out your Holy Spirit on this assembly, into this community, and throughout all creation. Cleanse us from our fears and drown our divisions. Grant that all may drink of your mercy and peace, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C: Amen.

HYMN OF THE DAY “We Walk by Faith” #635
APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
SHARING OF THE PEACE
P: The peace of the Lord be with you always.
C: And also with you.
(Share God’s Peace with your neighbor. If you would prefer not to shake hands, please feel free to extend “God’s Peace” to your neighbor through nodding or extending a grace-filled word without any physical touch.)

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

BLESSING
P: The blessing of the living God, Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit, surround and sustain you, keep you from harm, and fill you with courage.
