Prayer
Heavenly Father, by the power of your Holy Spirit you give to
your faithful people new life in the water of baptism. Guide
and strengthen us by the same Spirit, that we who are born
again may serve you in faith and love, and grow into the full
stature of your Son, Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns
with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit now and forever.
Amen.
–from Common Worship “Affirmation of Baptismal Faith”

Supporting faith formation is a baptismal
promise and a good leadership investment
