They went out and proclaimed that all should repent. Mark 6:12. 
Baptized in Water – Michael Saward. Jubilate Hymns. 

Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit, cleansed by the blood of Christ our king; heirs of salvation, trusting his promise, faithfully now God’s praise we sing.

 Prayer: 
Dear Lord, Guardian of the weak, through the teachings of your prophets you have claimed our cities, towns, and homes as temples of your presence and citadels of your justice. Turn the places we live into strongholds of your grace, that the most vulnerable as well as the most powerful among us may find peace in the security that comes in the strong name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Faith of Our Fathers Living Still – Fredrick William Faber (1849).

Faith of our fathers, living still; In spite of dungeon, fire and sword, O how our hearts beat high with joy whene’er we hear that glorious word! Faith of our fathers! Holy faith! We will be true to thee till death! 

 Prayer: 
God of grace and powerful weakness, at times your prophets were ignored, rejected, belittled, and unwelcome. Trusting that we, too, are called to be prophets, fill us with your Spirit, and support us by your gentle hands, that we may persevere in speaking your word and living our faith. Amen. 

This next quick hymn calls upon all of creation, on earth and in heaven, to offer praise to the Trinity, in recognition that all good things come from The Lord. 

Doxology – Thomas Ken (1674) 

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. 

We are all stewards spreading the Word of Jesus’ blessings for His people.
