Lord God, you showed your glory and led many to faith by the works of your Son. As he brought gladness and healing to his people, grant us these same gifts and lead us also to perfect faith in him, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen...

Father in heaven, at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan you proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit. Make all who are baptized into Christ faithful in their calling to be your children and inheritors with him of everlasting life; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. ...

PRAYER: Eternal God, in the birth of Jesus you have drawn near to us with tenderness and truth. As your Word dwells among us, open our hearts to your light and our lives to your grace, that we may reflect your love in all we do; through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen...

Holy One, you come among us not in power but in vulnerability, not in domination but in tenderness. Open our hearts to the surprising ways you dwell with us. Make us bold in compassion, courageous in truth‑telling, and joyful in hope, that we may reflect your light in a world longing for healing. Amen....

On this holy night, we confess our need for God’s mercy. Loving God, we confess that we have turned from your ways and ignored the cries of the vulnerable. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may walk in your light and share your love with the world. Amen....
