Sacred Heart Church,
Ferrybank  

He's made the headlines again.  For all you newspaper lovers 30 years ago we reported from Bethlehem about a man born in a stable, who was said to be someone special.

Now he is here being baptised by someone called John the Baptist in the river Jordan. The man called Jesus said he walked from Galilee.  And then he walked through the line that was waiting at the side of the river like it wasn't even there.  

When he got to John, John said 'no this is wrong, I am not worthy to baptise you, it is you who should be baptising me.'  And then Jesus said; "no you baptise me."  

Suddenly Jesus dropped his body into the water.  Suddenly the clouds opened and a dove flew down, a powerful voice spoke and said: "this is my Son, my beloved Son.  I am proud of him and you shall worship him.  The dove then flew up through the open clouds and when the dove was gone the clouds closed.  

Well I am sure this won't be the last of this man. To be continued...
