    the baptism service

    INTRODUCTION
    Faith is the gift of God to his people. In baptism the Lord is adding to our number those whom he is calling.
    People of God, will you welcome N and uphold her in her new life in Christ?
    With the help of God, we will.

    Parents and godparents, the Church receives N with joy. Today we are trusting God for his/her growth in
    faith. Will you pray for him/her, draw him/her by your example into the community of faith and walk with
    him/her in the way of Christ?
    With the help of God, we will.

    In baptism, N begins his/her journey in faith. You speak for him/her today. Will you care for him/her, and
    help him/her to take his/her place within the life and worship of Christ’s Church?
    With the help of God, we will.

    DECISION
    In baptism, God calls us out of darkness into his marvellous light. To follow Christ means dying to sin and
    rising to new life with him.

    Therefore I ask of you as parents and godparents:


    Do you turn to Christ? I turn to Christ.
    Do you repent of your sins? I repent of my sins.
    Do you renounce evil? I renounce evil.

    PRAYER OVER THE WATER


    Praise God who made heaven and earth,
    who keeps his promise for ever.
    Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. Gift Belonging Journey
    It is right to give thanks and praise.

    PROFESSION OF FAITH
    Do you believe and trust in God the Father, source of all being and life, the one for whom we exist?
    We believe and trust in him.
    Do you believe and trust in God the Son, Who took our human nature, died for us and rose again?
    We believe and trust in him.
    Do you believe and trust in God the Holy Spirit, who gives life to the people of God and makes Christ
    known in the world?
    We believe and trust in him.
    This is the faith of the Church.
    This is our faith. We believe and trust in one God, Father Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

    BAPTISM
    N, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
    Amen.

    Christ claims you for his own. Receive the sign of his cross.
    Do not be ashamed to confess the faith of Christ crucified.
    Fight valiantly as a disciple of Christ against sin, the world and the devil, and remain faithful to
    Christ to the end of your life.

    PRAYERS & THE WELCOME


    There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism:
    N by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body.
    We welcome you into the fellowship of faith;
    we are children of the same heavenly Father;
    we welcome you.
