As we continue to celibate Creation Season, this week we also celebrate a baptism. The renewed creation of God's hope for the world is made present each time someone is baptized and made a new child of God, claimed as Christ's own forever. So, as we prepare for this experience. I invite you to pray the Collect for Baptism form the Book of Common Prayer (p.254).

Almighty God, by our baptism into the death and resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ, you turn us from the old life of sin: Grant that we, being reborn to new life in him, may live in righteousness and holiness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Blessings,

Father Mark
