Collect:
Sovereign GOD, who called the entire church to be the body of CHRIST, grant us the courage to affirm our faith in one Body and in one Baptism. As we are baptized into the body of CHRIST, help us realize YOUR transformative power, enabling us to build an ecumenical community around us. May our baptism experience continue to affect us bringing revival and renewal within us to be the vibrant channels of unity, justice, and peace through JESUS CHRIST our LORD, who lives and reigns with YOU and the HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD now and ever.
Amen.
