A Community Approach to Infant Baptism

The whole community should gather around the water, reaching out their arms toward the baptismal font. Baptized members should take turns reading the following statements:

Holy Separator of the Waters, You created a holy space for us to flourish, ordaining through creation a safe and nurturing home for us.

Holy Drawer of the Rainbow, you transformed the arrows of flooding rains into a promise of protection and sustenance for the future.

Holy Parter of the Sea, You delivered your people from danger to safety and covenant in the desert.

You are the Promised Land for your people.
