CALL TO CONFESSION
PRAYER OF CONFESSION
Holy Triune God,
In baptism you gave us the Holy Spirit
to teach and guide us;
but we rely on ourselves,
and refuse to trust your direction.
In baptism you joined us to Christ in his death
that we might be raised with Christ in new life;
but we cherish old ways
and fail to embrace the risen life
of righteousness, justice, and love.
Remember the promises you made to us in our baptism,
forgive our sinful ways
and heal our brokenness.
Set us free from all that enslaves us,
and raise us to new life in Jesus Christ,
that we may be your faithful servants,
showing forth your healing love to the world,
to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF GRACE
Anyone who is in Christ
is a new creation.
The old life has gone;
a new life has begun.
I declare to you in the name of Jesus Christ,
you are forgiven. Thanks be to God.
*GLORIA: GtG 582
Glory to God, Whose Goodness Shines on Me
Glory to God, whose goodness shines on me,
and to the Son, whose grace has pardoned me,
And to the Spirit, whose love has set me free.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. Amen.
World without end, without end. Amen.
World without end, without end. Amen.
World without end, without end. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be. Amen.

TIME WITH YOUNG DISCIPLES
BAPTISM
Karina James Sabella
Child of Nikki (Goodman) Sabella and Mark Sabella
PRESENTATION
…As many of you as were baptized into Christ
have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is no longer Jew or Greek,
there is no longer slave or free,
there is no longer male and female;
for all are one in Christ Jesus.
QUESTIONS FOR THE CONGREGATION
Do you, as members of the church of Jesus Christ,
promise to guide and nurture Karina
by word and deed, with love and prayer? We do.
Will you encourage her to know and follow Christ
and to be a faithful member of her church? We will.
PROFESSION OF FAITH
*HYMN (APOSTLE’S CREED): GtG 481
I Believe in God the Father
I believe in God the Father,
merciful and mighty Lord,
maker of the earth and heavens,
whom we worship and adore;
And in Jesus Christ the Son,
only Savior, sovereign one,
by the Holy Spirit given,
born of Mary, blessed virgin.
Under Pilate, Jesus suffered,
faithful to his final breath.
He was crucified and buried,
and descended into death.
From the grave he did arise;
he ascended through the skies;
now enthroned with God in heaven,
he will judge the dead and living.
I believe in God the Spirit,
and the church in every place;
saints in glorious communion,
all forgiven, full of grace;
Flesh and blood will live again;
life in Christ will never end.
Holy Spirit, Son and Father:
I will praise your name forever.
