Almighty God,
we boldly proclaim your Holy Name
nd lift our hearts to You in praise.
Living Savior,
our brother in baptism,
our model for holy living,
we embrace you with all our might:
lead us and guide us as your beloveds.
May we make straight the way of the Lord
by all we can contribute as your witnesses,
and represent the gospel of love and inclusion
in all we say and do today.
Draw us to enter joyfully, O Lord,
into the discipleship to which you lovingly call us
through the waters of baptism and beyond.
Purify our wills to reflect your lovingkindness
and help us turn aside from all evil,
embracing instead the pure truth
that calls us to be advocates for others,
walking in integrity and bold ministry in the world.
Spirit of the Living God,
fall afresh on us and bless our labors today,
and let the peace and comfort of God
rest like a dove upon all those for whom we pray.
Amen.
