Worship & bulletin, September 19

Holy God, heavenly Father, in the waters of the flood you saved the chosen, and in the wilderness of temptation you protected your Son from sin. Renew us in the gift of baptism. May your holy angels be with us, that the wicked foe may have no power over us. Amen.

O God of justice and love, you illumine our way through life with the words of your Son. Give us the light we need, and awaken us to the needs of others. Amen.

Lord God, use our lives to touch the world with love. Stir us, by your Spirit, to be neighbor to those in need, serving them with willing hearts. Amen.
