Service of Baptism for Penelope Joy Williams

Presented by Samantha and Brian Williams

We receive this child as a new person in Christ. We offer our understanding and support as she explores life. We enfold her in our love, seeking together to grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and all people. We join with Samantha and Brian in telling the Gospel in our midst, so that their child and all children may live with us for Christ, showing forth his love for all people.

Song of Dedication

Penelope, we greet you on this glad morning;
We are so happy that you are here.
Our fondest wishes go with you always:
God guard and keep you all through the years.

Silence & Prayer

Rev. Julie Yarborough

Lord’s Prayer (“debts/debtors”)

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 debts
As we forgive our debtors;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory forever. Amen
