Family Dedication
June 19 & 20, 2010 at all services
WHAT IS FAMILY DEDICATION?
Our theology concerning family dedication is that it is a commitment of Christian parents to raise their child in a loving Christian home, to model the love of Christ, and to be connected to the Body of Christ. This is not the same theologically as infant baptism, which we do not practice.
WHEN ARE THE NEXT DEDICATIONS?
Dedications are held on Father's Day Weekend each year at the Saturday evening service and at the two Sunday services (at 9:30 & 11:15am). You can choose which service you would like to have your child dedicated at. The next dedication will be held on Father's Day weekend, June 19 & 20, 2010.
WHAT IS A DEDICATION LIKE?
Our Father's Day Weekend services will be designed around the dedications and the unique role that parents play in the lives of their children. Rod will ask the families to come forward for the dedication, after introducing you and your child to the congregation, he will invite extended family members and friends to participate by joining you up front during the time of prayer and dedication. In this special service we recognize the blessing of children, and the unique, important role of parents. It is also a time to pray over the child and commission the parents to raise their child in a loving, Christian home, to model the love of Christ, and to be connected to the Body of Christ (the church).
CAN WE DEDICATE TWO OF OUR CHILDREN AT THE SAME TIME?
We understand there are many reasons why you want to dedicate two or more of your children at the same time. We are happy to accommodate this request.
HOW OLD ARE THE CHILDREN WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE DEDICATIONS?
The majority of children who are dedicated are infants and toddlers, on occasion older children participate for various reasonsl.
HOW DO I SIGN UP?
