"Eternal Father, When nothing existed but chaos, you swept over the dark waters and brought forth light. In the days of Noah, you saved those on the ark through water. After the flood, you set in the clouds a rainbow. When you saw your people as slaves in Egypt, you led them to freedom through the Jordan, to the land which you promised.
In the fullness of time you sent Jesus, nurtured in the water of a womb. He was baptized by John and anointed by your Spirit. He called his disciples to share in the baptism of his death and resurrection and to make disciple of all nations.
Pour out your Holy Spirit, to bless this gift of living water, and those who witness it may know of your gift that is our life. May this living water serve as a reminder of that love which prompted the gift of this fountain. May this fountain be a blessing to this community. And may your Spirit guide us to you. Amen."
