Stars and angels sing around Thee, center ofunbroken praise

Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowrymeadow, flashing sea

Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us torejoice in Thee

Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth ofhappy rest

Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all who live inlove are Thine

Mortals, join the happy chorus which the morningstars began

Father love is reigning over us, brother love bindsman to man

Ever singing march we onward, victors in themidst of strife

Joyful music leads us Son-ward in the triumphsong of life

The Solid RockMy hope is built on nothing lessThan Jesus blood and righteousnessI dare not trust in mans weak frame But wholly lean on Jesus name

* On Christ, the solid Rock, I standAll other ground is sinking sandAll other ground is sinking sand

When darkness seems to hide His faceI rest on His unchanging grace

In evry high and stormy galeMy anchor holds within the vale *

* On Christ, the solid Rock, I standAll other ground is sinking sandAll other ground is sinking sand

His oath, His covenant, His bloodSupport me in the whelming floodWhen all around my soul gives wayHe then is all my Hope and Stay *

When He shall come with trumpet soundOh, may I then in Him be foundDressed in His righteousness aloneFaultless to stand before the throne *

Blessed AssuranceBlessed assurance, Jesus is mine!Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!Heir of salvation, purchase of God,Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long;This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;Angels, descending, bring from aboveEchoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,I in my Savior am happy and blest,Watching and waiting, looking above,Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Message: The ABCD of Baptism

The sacrament and ordinance of baptism is

administered by the church in obedience to the

command of Christ that the nations should be

converted, baptized, and taught all that Christ has

commanded (Mt 28:19-20).

Baptism represents and seals our union with Christ

(Rom 6:lff), the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Jn

1:33), and resulting regeneration, adoption, andcleansing from sin (Tit 3:5-6).

By baptism we are initiated into the covenant

community (Acts 2:41; 1 Cor 12:13), and made

members of the body ofChrist.

Luke 18:15-17 Now they were bringing even

infants to him that he might touch them. And

when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.

(16) But Jesus called them to him, saying, "Let

the children come to me, and do not hinder

them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

(17) Truly, I say to you, whoever does not

receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not

enter it."

A - ________________

God gave the word/promise of adoption. Genesis

17:7 *God said to Abraham,+ And I will establish

my covenant between me and you and your

offspring after you throughout their generations foran everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to

your offspring after you.

The Lord Jesus confirmedGods word of adoption

by his death and resurrection. John 20:17 Jesus

said to *Mary Magdalene+, go to my brothers and

say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your

Father, to my God and your God. See also

Galatians 4:4-7.

Our adoption is sealed in water baptism with the

Spirit of adoption.

Galatians 3:26-29 for in Christ Jesus you are

all sons of God, through faith. (27) For as many

of you as were baptized into Christ have put on

Christ(29) And if you are Christ's, then you

are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to

promise.

Galatians 4:6-7 ESV And because you are sons,

God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our

hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" (7) So you are

no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, thenan heir through God.

Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit

of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have

received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by

whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

Ephesians 1:13-14 In him you also, when you

heard the word of truth, the gospel of your

salvation, and believed in him, were sealed

with the promised Holy Spirit, (14) who is the

guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire

possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

B - ________________

In baptism, we are united to Christ and all His

benefits the benefits of His kingdom become

ours. We belong to God as Christ belongs to Him.

God is our Father. We receive the Spirit of Christ.

We receive forgiveness and righteousness. We

receive new life and sanctification. We receive thenurture of the church and we in turn share in

mutual giving and encouragement. We take part in

extending the kingdom of God.

C - ________________

The parents of the child, and his ninongs and

ninangs, should model and instill commitment in

the child, commitment to God and His ways. They

should model and expect faith in Christ. Theyshould model and expect obedience to God.

Deuteronomy 6:4-7 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD

our God, the LORD is one. (5) You shall love

the LORD your God with all your heart and with

all your soul and with all your might. (6) And

these words that I command you today shall be

on your heart. (7) You shall teach them

diligently to your children, and shall talk of

them when you sit in your house, and when

you walk by the way, and when you lie down,

and when you rise.

D- ________________ & ________________

Commitment to God and His ways means being a

disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to

them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has

been given to me. (19) Go therefore and disciple

all nations, baptizing them in the name of the

Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (20)

teaching them to observe all that I have

commanded you. And behold, I am with you

always, to the end of the age."

Hebrews 12:5-11 And have you forgotten the

exhortation that addresses you as sons? "My son,

do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,

nor be weary when reproved by him. (6) For the

Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises

every son whom he receives."

(7) It is for discipline that you have to endure.

God is treating you as sons. For what son is therewhom his father does not discipline?

(8) If you are left without discipline, in which

all have participated, then you are illegitimate

children and not sons.

(9) Besides this, we have had earthly fathers

who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall

we not much more be subject to the Father of

spirits and live? (10) For they disciplined us for a

short time as it seemed best to them, but he

disciplines us for our good, that we may share his

holiness.(11) For the moment all discipline seems

painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields

the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who

have been trained by it.

This child is now received into Christs Church. You

the people of this congregation, in receiving this

child, promise with Gods help to be his/her people

to the end that he/she may faithfully walk with

receive one such little child in My name receives

Me.

CONGREGATIONAL SPEECH

The congregation stands and speaks together to the

child.

Little child,

for you Jesus Christ came to this earth,

struggled and suffered;

for your sake He crossed Gethsemane and went

through the darkness of Calvary;

for your sake He cried: It is finished;

for your sake He died and for your sake He

overcame death;

indeed for your sake, little child, and you still

know nothing of it. And thus the word of the

apostle is confirmed: We love God, for He

loved us first.
