In Unison Descend upon us, as upon your Son, O LORD, that we may live out our baptismal covenant: to seek and serve Christ in all persons, striving for justice and peace among all nations; now and forever AMEN. Genesis 1:1-5 We are seated for the Lessons. Greg Holmes In the beginning when GOD created the heavens and the earth, the earth was covered with darkness, and a wind swept over the face of the waters. And GOD said, Let there be light; and there was light. And GOD saw that the light was good, and separated it from the darkness. And GOD called the light Day, and the darkness Night. And there was evening, and there was morning, the first day. Psalm 29 Psalm 29 [In Unison] Brandon Padama Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; for he blesses his followers with peace. 3

4 Acts 19: 1-7 Jacob Kuklok After Paul arrived in Ephesus, he asked some of the believers, Did you receive the Holy Spirit? No, they replied, we haven t heard about the Holy Spirit. In whose name were you baptized then?, Paul asked. In the name of John the Baptist, they answered. John told his followers to believe in the Messiah who was to come after him, Paul replied. Hearing this, twelve of the believers asked Paul to lay hands upon them in the name of the Lord Jesus. Immediately the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. We STAND for the proclamation of the GOSPEL.

8 A Reaffirmation of Our Baptismal Covenant Our Celebrant invites us to renew our Baptismal Covenant Officiant Will you continue in the apostles teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? Officiant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? Officiant Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of GOD in Christ? Officiant Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? Officiant Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? Our Celebrant then says The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Officiant Let us pray. [In UNISON] We thank you, gracious GOD, for the sacrament of Baptism. In it we find our true identity as your sons and daughters. By it we share in the resurrection of your Son s Mystical Body. Through it we are reborn by the power of your Holy Spirit. Bless us now with a heart to share your love with others, a will to persevere in times of trial, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. AMEN! The PRAYERS of the PEOPLE continue [see insert] 8
