On March 11, our daughter and SIL took part in their church's child dedication service. The church is comprised of mostly younger married couples so there are many children. The stage front was full of happy parents and adorable little ones. It was a beautiful sight!
This was not a baptism, just a public commitment by the parents to teach their child/children to know and love God and to honor Him with their lives. It was a blessing and a privilege to be there to witness their declaration.
About 25 years ago, we dedicated our daughter in much the same manner. Little E wore the same dress her mom wore those many years ago. That made the evening even sweeter and more meaningful!
