Sovereign God, in Christ we are made new in the waters of baptism. With joy we pray:
God, in your faithful love, hear our prayer.
Advance support and services for women in crisis pregnancies.
God, in your faithful love, hear our prayer.
Protect all people from abuse of alcohol and drugs, and strengthen those in recovery for addiction.
God, in your faithful love, hear our prayer.
Raise to new life all who have gone before us in faith.
God, in your faithful love, hear our prayer.
Our Father . . .
May the love of Christ impel us to greater love for one another and for our neighbor, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
