Beloved sisters and brothers, dear friends! We are here because of a ceremony of baptism and confirmation of Roberto Rosso. We will attend the ceremony of baptism and confirmation in one sermon (only one speech by the minister). Usually baptism and the confirmation are two separate ceremonies with two sermons. In our case, when we have two of these nice ceremonies, we have part in a merged ceremony. That is not means that we would minimize the ceremonies of baptism or of confirmation. Our liturgical actions are not finished or closed definitely, so I can do my suggestions for today baptism and confirmation. We all know, that Unitarian ceremonies are needfulness and in the same time these are not necessary exclusive tools of salvation. Ceremonies help us to have a part of Spirit of God and feed our soul with light of faith, hopes and love. Please attend the order of sermon of today.( During all of the sermon, please all of you be sited)
1. Learning a simple sing together:
(See the melody of Transylvanian hymnbook Number 221):
“Oh my Father bless me today,
Bless me from Your high Heaven,
I call You by my hearths deepen …
Deepen trust, oh, listen to me.
Look at me: I come to You
I come to confess my faith
Oh my sweet God, oh my sweet hopes
Whom Universe proclaims to me.”
2. Invocation (the minister): “Oh creative and heavenly Father! Please bless this moment when we baptize Dot. Roberto Rosso and record him in membership of Unitarian Church of Jobbagyfalva and Nyaradszereda. Bless us and please be with us in our ceremony and bless Roberto Rosso and his life, and help him spiritually that after his baptism to confess us about his faith in ceremony of his confirmation. Thank you this moment, and thank you Your gift of this occasion to be here together and may Your bless be with all of us! Amen and amen!”

7. Learning a simple sing together (See the melody of Transylvanian hymnbook number 220)
I believe and confess God’ s one
Other was not and it is not
God’s power is eternity,
Unavailable by human thoughts.
God is Reason God is the Goal,
God is law in human’s clean hearths,
Love is his eternity Heaven
There’s everybody can find.
Confess: Jesus was the Master
By words and by lovingly acts
He led us to know about God
And teach us how to love.
I believe in God’s holy spirit
Flooding in us to be better
I do not fear in the dark night
Eternity it is in my God.
