ANNOUNCEMENTS

Kyrie: Pg. 184 ELW

Thanksgiving for Baptism:

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, you created us and placed us in a well-watered garden. In the desert, you promised pools of water for the parched, and you gave us water from the rock. When we did not know the way, you sent the Good Shepherd to lead us to still waters. On this day, you shower us again with the water of life.

Gathering Hymn: ELW 524 What is This Place.

Prayer of the Day:

Let us pray together the prayer of the day.

Holy God, daily your mercy surprises us with everlasting forgiveness. Strengthen our hope in you, and grant that all peoples on earth way find peace and grace through your presence. Amen.

    and the swallow a nest for herself,

    ever singing your praise.
