Dedicated to Jesus

Dear John,

Daddy, Mommy, and Baby John
Yesterday at church we had the honor and privilege to dedicate you, our sweet baby John to the Lord. This is something we did with your sister Addie as well. It is such a special day that we anticipate with great joy.

At our church, parents are given the opportunity to dedicate their children rather than baptizing them. It is committing yourselves as parents to do the following:

- Raise your children in the ways of the Lord according to the Word of God
- Raise your children in the church; modeling for them a life of Christian community
- Maintain marital unity
- Model for them repentance and forgiveness

We are committed to these things and more WHOLEHEARTEDLY! We will strive to raise you and your sister to know Jesus, and hope one day you both will make the choice for yourselves to follow Him.

Below are some pictures taken while our family and friends were praying for and blessing us during the Baby Dedication ceremony.

Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord. "I prayed for this child and the Lord granted me what I asked of Him. So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord."  1 Samuel 1:27


We LOVE you John!!  We pray that you come to know the Lord and that His giftings are made known to you at an early age.
