Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for the Lord God is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.
—Isaiah 12:2
To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory, great things he has done
So loved he the world that he gave his own Son
Who yielded his life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done
O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood
To every believer the promise of God
The vilest offender who truly believes
That moment from Jesus a pardon receives
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done
He has done great things
(He has done great things)
He has done great things
(He has done great things)
He has done great things
(He has done great things)
He has done great things
(He has done great things)
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the earth hear his voice
Praise the Lord, (praise the Lord)
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father through Jesus the Son
And give him the glory, great things he has done

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

Sermon
“The Washing – The Meaning and Mystery of Christian Baptism”
Colossians 2:6-15
Prayer of Confession
Gracious Heavenly Father,
have mercy on us and forgive our sin.
Wash us in bountiful grace,
through Christ our atoning sacrifice,
whose shed blood covers our sin,
and the sin of the world.
Shape us into a gracious people,
who love the broken, serve the weak,
and seek out the least and the lost.
Make us a faithful presence
in this world you created to be good,
until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
For you are my refuge, into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
—Psalm 31:4b-5
The Lord’s Supper
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again
And as he stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
‘Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
