Prayer for the week: God of love, in this time of worship help us hear you claim us as your own as you call us beloved; help us claim our own identity as precious and honored. As we reaffirm our baptism this day, remind us who we are and whose we are. Strengthen us to do your work in this world, to transform our fragmented world into your beloved Kingdom. Amen.
