SCRIPTURE READING                                                                        1 Peter 3:18-22
                    18
           For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring
us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19in which he went and
proclaimed to the spirits in prison, 20because they formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited
in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were
brought safely through water. 21Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal
of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of
Jesus Christ, 22who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and
powers having been subjected to him.

P O Lord, have mercy on us.
C Thanks be to God.
P In many and various ways, God spoke to His people of old by the prophets.
C But now in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son.

L    Taught by our Lord and trusting in His promises, we are bold to pray:
C    Our Father who art in heaven,
        hallowed be thy name,
        Thy kingdom come,
        Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
        give us this day our daily bread;
        and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,
       but deliver us from evil.
    For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
