Baptism of Liam and Arthur Allen

Today we have the joy of baptising Liam and his son Arthur.

May this baptism be a symbol of a new life, a life lived in obedience to your will and in service to others. Bless Liam with the courage to follow Christ faithfully, to persevere in times of difficulty, and to grow in love and understanding. May he be a shining example of your grace and mercy, and may his lives be a testament to the power of your love. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Creator God,
We thank you for the gift of the life of Arthur who is to be baptized.
May your blessing of peace and joy be with them and protect them all of their days.
We make this prayer in the name of your Son, Jesus.
