PRAYER OF ADORATION AND THANKSGIVING
RESPONSIVE READING -
Leader:We have been buried with him by baptism into death,
so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead
by the glory of the Father,
People:so we too might walk in newness of life.
Leader:For if we have been united with him in a death like his,
we will certainly be united with him
People:in a resurrection like his.
Leader:We know that our old self was crucified with him
so that the body of sin might be destroyed,
People:and we might no longer be enslaved to sin.
Leader:As many of you as were baptized into Christ
have clothed yourselves with Christ.
There is no longer Jew or Greek,
People:there is no longer slave or free,
Leader:there is no longer male or female;
ALL:For all of you are one in Christ Jesus.

Song During Baptism - Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit
1.Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
cleansed by the blood of Christ, our King;
heirs of salvation, trusting his promise,
faithfully now God's praise we sing.
2. Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
dead in the tomb with Christ, our King;
one with his rising, freed and forgiven,
thankfully now God's praise we sing.
3. Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
marked with the sign of Christ, our King;
born of one Father, we are his children,
Joyfully now God’s praises we sing.

HYMN OF MEDITATION Come away from rush and hurry
1.Come away from rush and hurry 2. In the pastures of God’s goodness
to the stillness of God’s peace; we lie down to rest our soul.
from our vain ambition’s worry, From the waters of his mercy
come to Christ and find release. we drink deeply, are made whole
Come away from noise and clamor, At the table of his presence
life’s demands and frenzied pace; all his saints are richly fed
come to join the people gathered With the oil of his anointing
here to seek and find God’s face. into service we are led
3. Come, then, children, with your burdens –
life’s confusions, fears, and pain.
Leave them at the cross of Jesus;
take instead his kingdom’s reign.
Bring your thirsts, for he will quench them –
he alone will satisfy.
All our longings find attainment
when to self we gladly die.
