Sunday, January 13, 2013  The Baptism of the Lord

Our January meeting included a discussion about the direction of our prayer shawl group, how we are going forward, changes that may be needed, how to keep the communication between knitters and wrappers open, a new storage area for the shawls.....so many things to discuss and pray over. This beautiful prayer is appropriate for today's celebration of the baptism of Christ....and one that we can say individually as we recommit ourselves to our ministry.

 

Father in Heaven, when the spirit came down upon Jesus at His Baptism in the Jordan, you revealed Him as Your own beloved Son. Keep me, your child born of water and the Spirit, faithful to my calling. May I, who share Your life as Your child through Baptism, follow in Christ's path of service to people. Let me become one in His sacrifice and hear His word with faith. May I live as Your child following the example of Jesus.
