"Life as an Infant--Part 2"

Prayer in Preparation:
Almighty God, your Son came into the world to free us all from sin and death.  Breathe upon us with the power of your Spirit, that we may be raised to new life in Christ, and serve you in holiness and righteousness all our days, through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen

Prayer of Confession:
≈Lord, because You love us deeply, it grieves You when we behave in ways that hurts Your image in us.  You weep when we act on sinful impulses and end up harming ourselves or others.  Please forgive us for the wrong we do to others, ourselves and You.  Through Your Spirit grow goodness in us, so that we can be the people we were intended to be.  In Jesus name we pray, Amen.



The sermon at St. Mark Presbyterian on March 16 which can be listened to on the website, compares
our growth as Christians with the growth of a child:  needing basic spiritual milk, struggling to make things work, growing in spurts and understanding that there are all levels of growth.
