PRAISE AND GLORY: PRAYERS OF PRAISE ENGAGING THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
DAY 28 - SATURDAY
God calls us into the Church to share in Christ’s
baptism.
God of life, You who bring
newness out of nothing,
out of chaos and death, we
worship You with gratitude and joy.
Because You called to us in
love and invited us into a new life
of deep and mysterious
intimacy with You,
we have entered the waters of
baptism
to die with Christ Jesus and
to emerge again
as new creatures for whom all
of Creation is renewed.
Baptized in many waters, we
rejoice that we have all
been baptized in one Spirit
who shapes our life
as a single body with diverse
gifts
and a shared hope of glory in
your majestic presence.
O Giver of Life, we rejoice
for what You have made of us,
and we rejoice that the
waters of your Spirit
flow over us for ongoing
renewal in your image. Amen.
