Thoughts
Infant Baptism is always a special time within a church family. It reminds each of us of the solemn responsibility we have in growing our children in the faith. Let us repeat the words once again, With God’s help we will proclaim the good news and live according to the example of Christ. We will surround Susanna Charles Brown with a community of love and forgiveness, that she may grow in her service to others. We will pray for her that she may be a true disciple who walks in the way that leads to life. During Susanna’s baptism we also reaffirmed our own baptismal vows, renewing our promise to faithfully participate in the ministries of the Church by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness.

Susanna Charles Brown we welcome you to your church family. We look forward to taking part in your faith journey. May we be found faithful in our promise to you and your family and may we all continue to grow in Christ now and always. Centenary, what happens here? Life happens here!. Let us all join in the wonderful life that happens here!

Let us pray . .
O God,
the protector of all who trust in you,
without whom nothing is strong,
nothing is holy:
Increase and multiply
upon us your mercy;
that, with you as our ruler and guide,
we may so pass through things temporal,
that we lose not the things eternal;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
