Welcome & thanksgiving for baptism

All may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the presiding minister begins.
 
Alleluia! Christ is risen.
 
Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
 
Refreshed by the resurrection life we share in Christ, let us give thanks for the gift of baptism.
 
We thank you, risen Christ, for these waters where you make us new, leading us from death to life, from tears to joy
We bless you, risen Christ, that your Spirit comes to us in the grace-filled waters of rebirth, like rains to our thirsting earth,
like streams that revive our souls, like cups of cool water shared with strangers.
 
Breathe your peace on your church when we hide in fear. Clothe us with your mercy and forgiveness. Send us companions on our journey as we share your life.
 
Make us one, risen Christ. Cleanse our hearts. Shower us with life.
 
To you be given all praise, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God, now and forever. Amen
O God, you give us your Son as the vine apart from whom we cannot live. Nourish our life in his resurrection, that we may bear the fruit of love and know the fullness of your joy, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

Prayers & Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
      maker of heaven and earth,
      of all that is, seen and unseen.
 
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
       the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,
       God from God, Light from Light,
       true God from true God,
       begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father;
       through him all things were made.
       For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven,
       was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary
       and became truly human.
       For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
       he suffered death and was buried.
       On the third day he rose again
       in accordance with the scriptures;
       he ascended into heaven
       and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
       He will come again in glory to judge the living and
       the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
 
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
      who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
      who with the Father and the Son is worshiped
      and glorified, who has spoken through the
      prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and
      apostolic church.
 
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
 
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
      and the life of the world to come. Amen.

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
