Collect
Lord our God,
who anointed your only Son
with the Spirit at the river Jordan,
and so hallowed the waters of new birth
to bring us forth to salvation:
keep us strong in the life of grace,
direct the ways of your people,
and open the door of your Kingdom
to all who stand upon the threshold of faith;
through Jesus our Messiah and Saviour . . .
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.
Merciful God,
in Christ you make all things new;
transform the poverty of our nature
by the riches of your grace,
and in the renewal of our lives
make known your heavenly glory;
through Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
Amen.
The Blessing
May Christ the Son of God, gladden our hearts
with the good news of God’s Kingdom.
Amen.
