Second Sunday in Lent

The Prayer of the Day:

O God, our leader and guide, in the waters of baptism you bring us to new birth to live as your children.
Strengthen our faith in your promises, that by your Spirit we may lift up your life to all the world through
your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
now and forever.

Amen


Worship Insight:

During Lent we journey with all those around the world who will be baptized at the Easter Vigil. In today’s gospel Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be born of water and Spirit. At the front we are a given a new birth as children of God. As God made a covenant with Abraham, in baptism God promises to raise us up with Christ to new life. From worship we are sent forth to proclaim God’s love for all the world.
