The First Sunday after The Epiphany, The Baptism of Christ

St. John's Church Ashe Street Tralee

Good Evening Everyone,

I have attached the youtube clip of Noreen singing Morning has broken and the service for the First Sunday after the Epiphany, The Baptism of Jesus.
I have also attached the service sheet if you wish to follow it, This may be useful as we included the renewal of baptismal promises in the service.
It is customary to renew these vows when we celebrate the baptism of Jesus, it is also good to take stock and  review these promises which we once made ourselves.

Thank you to those who participated in this service of the word.

THE GREETING

 Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people:

 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Christ the Lord.

Thanks be to God

 

PRAYER

God of salvation,
in the river Jordan you bathed your Son Jesus in glory
and revealed him as your obedient servant.
In spirit and in power come upon us and strengthen us

who have been reborn in his likeness to walk faithfully with him.

Grant this through Jesus Christ, your Word made flesh, Amen.

 

PENITENCE
