Baptism:

Baptism as a sacrament developed over the generations. The first stage is during the early life of the Christian community. John the Baptist offered baptism as a sign of repentance and change. John’s baptism of Jesus confirmed that Jesus was in fact God made man; that he was truly human in our world. At his own ascension, Jesus told his apostles, make disciples of all the nations, baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. This is the heart of Christian baptism- conversion to a life of faith and its demands of a different lifestyle with different priorities.

In the first days of the Church baptism involved adults taking a period of preparation sometimes lasting up to three years. Those who asked to be baptized were called catechumens which means under instruction. At the celebration of the baptism the person was submerged in the water as a sign of being “buried with Christ”. The newly baptized person then rose from the water as a sign of the resurrection of Christ – which they, too now shared.

                                  Recessional Hymn

Swing low, sweet Chariot,                                     Swing low, sweet Chariot

Coming for to carry me home                                Coming to carry me home,                       

Swing low, sweet Chariot,                                     Swing low, sweet Chariot,

Coming for to carry me home.                               Coming for to carry me home       

 

I looked over Jordan, and what did                       The brightest day that I can say,

I see?  Coming for to carry me home,                    Coming for to carry me home,

A band of angels coming after me,                                    When Jesus washed my sins away,

Coming for to carry me home                                Coming for to carry me home.
