But now thus says the L!"#, he who created you, O Jacob, he who

formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have

called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters,

I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm

you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the

flame shall not consume you. For I am the L!"# your God, the Holy

One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and

Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my sight, and

honored, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in

exchange for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your

offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you; I will say to

the north, “Give them up,” and to the south, “Do not withhold; bring

my sons from far away and my daughters from the end of the earth—

everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory,

whom I formed and made.”

Reader: The Word of the Lord.

Congregation: Thanks be to God.

SSSS ECONDECONDECONDECOND RRRR EADINGEADINGEADINGEADING Acts 8:14-17

Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted

the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them. The two went

down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit

(for as yet the Spirit had not come upon any of them; they had only

been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus). Then Peter and John laid

their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Reader: The Word of the Lord.

Congregation: Thanks be to God.

HHHH OLYOLYOLYOLY GGGG OSPELOSPELOSPELOSPEL Luke 3:15-17, 21-22

As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in

their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, John

answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water; but one who is

more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of

his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His

winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather

the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable

fire.” Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had

been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the Holy

Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came

from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.”

Ask godparents to write a le#er to their godchild each year. Keep these in a

special book.

Each year take photos of the bap�zed person at your church font. Ask your Pastor
