Welcome and Intimations

Call to Worship (Please join in the words written in bold).

Today we celebrate a special baptism;
the baptism of Jesus of Nazareth.

God says:
Look! See my chosen servant,
the One in whom I utterly delight;
I have placed my Spirit on him,
he will bring true justice to the nations.

When Jesus was baptised, the heavens opened up,
and Spirit came down like a dove;
and there was a voice from heaven saying:
“This is my beloved Son
with whom I am well pleased.”

The joy of the Lord be with you all.
And also with you.
