Family Dedications
Sep 15, 2024
Family dedications are to recognize the divine institution of family that God has provided and to acknowledge the responsibility in the raising up of children. We see biblical examples of parents dedicating their children to the Lord in Moses & Jochebed, in Samuel & Hanna, Eli, and Jesus & Joseph/Mary. This dedication does NOT guarantee salvation of eternal life. It is a recognition by parents that children beloved to God and are a gift He has entrusted to us. It is a coming to God and our church family for 3 reasons: 1. To present the child to God for His blessing. 2. To dedicate themselves as parents to their task of discipleship. 3. To ask for help and prayers from the church family.
