Full Order of Worship

---

God of grace and glory,
you call us with your voice of flame
to be your people, faithful and courageous.
As your beloved Son
embraced his mission in the waters of baptism,
inspire us with the fire of your Spirit
to join in his transforming work.
We ask this in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over mighty waters. 
The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. Psalm 29:3-4
