Baptismal Prayer for Ellie

Written By Brian Suntken

God of wonder and grace, we thank you for your love revealed here this day as this community, these parents, and this child come together making covenant promises. We pray that this community will have the grace to uphold the promises made here this day, providing a safe shelter of your love in which Ellie may grow and play. We pray that these parents may continue to feel the sweet wonder of your presence so transparent here today. We pray that Ellie will bask in your love as she makes her own journey through this life. Amen.

Elliott Lucy Shega was baptized at The Community of Saint John on Sunday, May 9, 2021

It’s my sixtieth trip around the sun this year. I share some wisdom, some photography, some poetry and prayers for the journey ahead.
