Welcome & Announcements
Minute for Mission
Prelude “Down to the River to Pray” arr. M. Hayes
Call to Worship:
Baptized to begin lives of faith,
we would witness to all you do in our communities, in our midst, in our world.
Baptized to serve,
we would speak up for the voiceless, we would bring justice to those who have none.
Baptized to speak,
we would heal, and not hurt; we would bless, and not curse.
Baptized to do what is right,
we would not play favorites, but treat each as your Beloved.
**Hymn #490 “Wash, O God, Your Sons and Daughters”
**Affirmation of Faith
In life and death we belong to God. We trust in Jesus Christ, fully human, fully God. We trust in God, whom Jesus called Abba, Father. In sovereign love God created the world good and makes everyone equally in God’s image, of every race and people, to live in one community. We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life. With believers in every time and place, we rejoice that nothing in life or in death can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Anthem (10:15) "Fairest Lord Jesus” Grace Notes Choir
Time with Young Disciples (10:15)
Scripture Reading Matthew 3: 13-17
Message
Prayers of the People with the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us, not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
**Hymn #482 “Baptized in Water"
**Benediction
**Choral Blessing
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind blow at your back, may the sun shine warmly on your face, may the rain fall softly on your field, and, until we meet again, until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of God’s hand.
