WELCOME

THANKSGIVING FOR BAPTISM

P:     In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy    Spirit.

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.

        We give you thanks, O God, for in the beginning your Spirit moved over the waters and by your Word you created the world, calling forth life in which you took delight.

        Through the waters of the flood you delivered Noah and his family. Through the sea you led your people Israel from slavery into freedom.  At the river your Son was baptized by John and anointed with the Holy Spirit.  By water and your Word you claim us as daughters and sons, making us heirs of your promise and servants of all.

        We praise you for the gift of water that sustains life, and above all we praise you for the gift of new life in Jesus Christ.  Shower us with your Spirit, and renew our lives with your forgiveness, grace, and love.

        To you be given honor and praise through Jesus Christ our Lord in the unity of the Holy Spirit, now and forever.

C:    Amen.

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 again 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
