This seems to hit the spot. Nicely done.

Here's what I did with it: <br /><br />P: People of God, in the baptismal waters we travel with Christ from death to life. Our past, our sin, our failure, our doubt, and our shame are drowned and gone here. <br />C: You, O God, wash us clean. <br />P: Our fear, our confusion, our self-righteousness, our despair -- ALL are washed away by grace. <br />C: You, O God, wash us clean.<br />P: Our pride, our hypocrisy, and other people’s opinions of us no longer have the power to define us. <br />C: You, O God, give us new life.<br />P: The Spirit lives and moves through us now, a great and joyful mystery, so we may bring love and mercy into the world as the body of Christ. <br />C: You, O God, give us new life. <br />P: Rejoice that God has claimed us in this baptismal grace, not by our own doing or believing but by God’s mercy alone. <br />C: You, O God, give us new life. <br />P: And so, as we begin worship, we give thanks to God for the gracious gift of baptism that joins us together in Christ by the Spirit’s power. C: Amen<br /><br />Pr. Jess Harren<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08850162369318336047noreply@blogger.com
