[2425.54 --> 2434.04] This point, parents, if you are comfortable with this, I'm going to invite you to send your little kids up to the front, and we're going to gather over here.
[2434.12 --> 2436.68] So if you guys just move just a little bit here so we have some room.
[2437.08 --> 2449.22] Kids, if you come here and just sort of sit down in this space, you can come up and see what's happening here as we remember that our Lord Jesus invited all the little children to come to him.
[2449.22 --> 2454.54] And he said, do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
[2454.64 --> 2457.02] And so you guys are going to want to be able to see right over here, okay?
[2457.02 --> 2462.12] All right.
[2462.24 --> 2471.24] In just a moment, we're going to invite each one of these up to receive the sacrament of baptism.
[2472.18 --> 2475.12] Now, some of you guys were baptized in this church, right?
[2476.24 --> 2476.70] Some of you.
[2476.70 --> 2477.80] I know, Nora, you weren't.
[2478.50 --> 2478.98] That's right.
[2479.02 --> 2479.84] But some of you were.
[2479.94 --> 2482.50] So some of you have seen this here before.
[2483.06 --> 2485.28] Do you know what this water means?
[2485.28 --> 2487.80] Go ahead, Zoe.
[2491.46 --> 2493.76] Jesus writes his name on your head.
[2493.86 --> 2494.22] Amen.
[2495.18 --> 2496.34] What a great answer.
[2497.48 --> 2497.92] Anyone else?
[2497.98 --> 2498.20] Haley?
[2506.68 --> 2507.94] Jesus had his feet washed.
[2508.02 --> 2508.46] That's right.
[2508.98 --> 2509.36] That's right.
[2509.40 --> 2514.64] So the water also symbolizes the washing of our sins, right?
[2514.64 --> 2517.50] And so when we have these babies come up, right?
[2517.72 --> 2523.04] Jesus is showing us that he washes our sins and he writes his name on our foreheads.
[2523.52 --> 2530.64] And so as they come up and you guys see that, I want you to think that many of you, maybe even all of you, had the same thing happen to you, right?
[2530.70 --> 2536.38] That this is a chance to remember that Jesus has written his name on your foreheads as well.
[2536.38 --> 2538.44] Why don't we come in order?
[2538.70 --> 2540.28] Dave and Sheila, why don't you come up here first?
[2552.66 --> 2563.24] Dawson, Arthur, Skipper, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
[2563.24 --> 2564.56] Amen.
[2576.12 --> 2579.78] Matt and Annalise, why don't you find a way around?
[2579.78 --> 2597.30] Ruben, Deodore, Birkenpass.
[2597.96 --> 2604.70] I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
[2605.48 --> 2605.78] Amen.
[2605.78 --> 2605.96] Amen.
[2605.96 --> 2606.00] Amen.
[2609.78 --> 2619.24] And then Justin and Tanya.
[2629.24 --> 2630.58] Do you want Emma to come up here?
[2632.42 --> 2633.64] Emma, do you want to come up to you?
[2634.72 --> 2635.06] Yeah.
[2635.06 --> 2635.16] Yeah.
[2635.60 --> 2635.66] Yeah.
[2635.66 --> 2635.72] Yeah.
[2639.78 --> 2647.94] April, Tegan, Riley, Smith.
[2648.34 --> 2655.66] I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
[2657.16 --> 2657.46] Amen.
[2657.46 --> 2657.62] Amen.
[2657.62 --> 2668.90] All right, you guys can join them down there.
[2677.08 --> 2683.44] This must be something about the kinds of parents this church has, but I've done a number of baptisms here, and none of the kids have cried during it.
[2683.44 --> 2688.68] So, for the rest of you who are thinking about baptisms, there's a bar.
[2690.84 --> 2696.50] Although, if we do a believer's baptism and you don't cry, like an adult baptism, hmm.
[2699.00 --> 2703.82] Together, we have a chance to promise these families our support.
[2703.82 --> 2716.92] And so, I'm going to invite you now, as a covenant family, to stand, and I will ask you a question and invite you to respond with, we do, God helping us, we do, with God's help.
[2717.76 --> 2726.30] Also, again, if you are at home, I invite you to respond out loud to this question as well.
[2726.30 --> 2735.14] And so, brothers and sisters of our Lord Jesus Christ, church, family, here, gathered and digitally present,
[2735.56 --> 2742.36] do you promise to love and encourage and support Dawson and April and Ruben and their families
[2742.36 --> 2749.90] by teaching the gospel of God's love, by being an example of Christian faith and character,
[2750.40 --> 2756.94] and by giving the strong support of God's family in fellowship, prayer, and service?
[2757.30 --> 2758.04] What is your answer?
[2761.10 --> 2761.42] Amen.
[2762.10 --> 2762.44] Amen.
[2762.60 --> 2763.18] You may be seated.
[2767.02 --> 2771.48] And now, together, receive the blessing of God.
[2772.36 --> 2775.00] Dawson and April and Ruben.
[2775.76 --> 2778.26] The Lord bless you and keep you.
[2778.94 --> 2783.08] The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you.
[2783.84 --> 2789.82] The Lord turn his face towards you and give you his peace all your lives.
[2790.74 --> 2796.42] In this way, the Lord puts his name on our children and makes them his own.
[2797.42 --> 2799.58] Together, we say, amen.
[2799.58 --> 2799.78] Amen.
[2800.90 --> 2801.62] All right, kids.
[2801.68 --> 2806.26] As you make your way back to your parents, I'm going to invite Elder Eric to come up to the front.
[2806.64 --> 2809.94] He has a gift on behalf of the church for you guys.
[2810.58 --> 2814.06] Just want to note that as you open the gifts, the individual names will be there.
[2814.16 --> 2817.04] There is a baptismal certificate that will be coming.
[2817.90 --> 2820.42] Our church administrator has been on vacation for a couple weeks,
[2820.42 --> 2822.48] and so we don't have them printed and ready to give to you.
[2822.48 --> 2823.48] Thank you.
[2823.48 --> 2823.54] Thank you.
[2823.54 --> 2823.60] Thank you.
[2823.60 --> 2823.66] Thank you.
[2823.66 --> 2824.04] Thank you.
[2824.04 --> 2824.66] Thank you.
[2838.66 --> 2839.18] Thank you.
[2843.18 --> 2845.24] And then Mr. Mike.
[2846.90 --> 2848.72] Oh, coming out of the wind.
[2848.72 --> 2849.80] All right, here we go.
[2852.56 --> 2853.38] That one's for you.
[2854.78 --> 2855.46] Yeah, we're singing.
[2856.98 --> 2857.58] Worship team.
[2857.58 --> 2857.60] Worship team.
[2857.60 --> 2857.70] Worship team.
[2861.70 --> 2872.46] Worship team.
[2872.46 --> 2878.54] Worship team.
[2878.54 --> 2879.54] Amen.
[2908.54 --> 2922.46] Bless you and keep you, make his face shine upon you, be gracious to you.
[2922.46 --> 2936.46] The Lord turn his face towards you and give you peace.
[2938.54 --> 2957.32] The Lord bless you and keep you, make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you.
