The Holiest of Waters

(Sermon theme: baptism)
3/5/06

Great Spirit that flows through us and among us
You are the energy that binds us together
You are love.

God, we all share a common bond.
At our births, each of us emerged from the holiest of waters.
Born to begin a journey of discovery,
A journey that, at times, is riddled with pain and confusion
While at other times is blessed with joy, peace, and clarity.
Each of our paths of this journey is unique,
Shaping us into who we are
In this place
Today.

God, is it no accident that we return to holy, sacred water
To proclaim our connection to you,
Through re-birth
Re-emergence
Baptism
Where we begin our journey
Again
And again
And again?
Each day is a gift,
An opportunity to walk our path with you and with each other.
We are so very blessed.

Amen
