CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER
Today, Gracious God, we are invited to remember our baptism. As we listen to the story of John and Jesus let us join our hearts and minds with all those who came to the Jordan River. They came to shed the residue of the world and renew their commitment and connection with you. Jesus was among those who came to be cleansed of the sin levied upon humankind by the world. At the Jordan he, too, shed the world and took on the mantle of his messiahship. Let us be renewed in him today. Like Jesus, we have no idea what lies ahead in the days and months to come, but we are assured of your presence with us on the journey. Guide us in right paths and wise decisions as we work toward your kingdom in Christ’s name. Amen.
UNISON OFFERTORY PRAYER
Gracious God, we offer these gifts of thanksgiving and praise understanding that they are instruments of goodwill. May they light the way into our future as we work in and for your kingdom. May they be the light in someone’s darkness as we labor side by side lending our hearts and hands to heal a broken and hurting world. Help us, Gracious God as we continue to build ministries that glorify your name and empower us to serve wholeheartedly in Christ’s name. Amen.
