Grace to
you and peace from the one who is and who was and who is to come,
And from Jesus Christ, the faithful
witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
Holy,

The whole earth is full of God’s glory.

*Opening Prayer
Holy God, through the generations you have
spoken to us. You have sent voices crying out in the wilderness. You have sent
the words of an overjoyed new father and an expectant mother. You have sent the assurance of a condemned
man on a cross. Quiet in us any voice but your own that, by the power of your
Spirit, we might hear the words you speak to us today. Amen.

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be

thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the
glory forever. Amen.

cleansing flood.
