Baptismal
Prayer
<full name>, having been
commissioned of Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the Name of the Mother, Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. (p. 21)
When presenting the “Traditional” prayers of the sacrament
of the Lord’s Supper, we have this combined prayer:
O God, the Eternal Father, we ask
thee in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread and
wine to the souls of all those who partake of them, that they may eat and drink
it in remembrance of the body of Thy Son, and witness unto Thee, O God, the
Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the Name of Thy Son,
and always remember Him and keep His commandments which He has given them; that
they may always have His Spirit to be with them. Amen. (p. 22)
The following are “Contemporary” versions of the sacrament
prayers:

name of your Son Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of
all those who receive it, that they may eat in remembrance of the body of your

name of your Son, and always remember Him, and keep the commandments which He
has given them, that they may always have His Spirit to be with them. Amen.

name of your Son Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of

they do always remember Him, that they may have His Spirit to be with them.
