Children’s Worship May 21st, 2023

This is the season of Easter, when we celebrate the mystery that Jesus died and God made him alive again. Alleluia!
Today we are talking about baptism. We start with lighting the Christ candle. Many have come to the Light to receive their light.
Now the day that your received your light may have been a day when your were very tiny. Or it may be a day when you are grown big. When that happens, something is done in the church called baptism.
The mother and father and other people bring the little baby to the church. Or big grown people come to the church. Then the pastor calls the baby or grown big person by name and puts special water on the baby or big person…….and says the special words, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” And that is what happens on the day you received your light. It is the day you came into the family of families we call the church.
I wonder what it was like on the day your received your light?………
I wonder what it will be like on the day of your baptism?………
I wonder how you feel when you belong to the church family?……
I wonder how God feels about you when you are baptized?……
