The Prayer of the Day:
Almighty God, your Son came into the world to free us all from sin and death. Breathe upon us the
power of your Spirit, that we may be raised to new life in Christ and serve you in righteousness all our
days, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and forever.
Amen
Worship Insight:
Baptism is sometimes called enlightenment. The gospel for this Sunday is the story of the man born blind, healed by Christ. “I was blind, now I see,” declares the man. In baptism, God opens our eyes to see the truth of who we are: God’s beloved children. As David was anointed king of Israel, in baptism God anoints our head with oil and calls us to bear witness to the light of Christ in our daily lives.
