Child Dedication Service

We just had a great child dedication service at PCC. I love doing these dedications. There are 2 main reasons why we do them:

(1) We want to praise God for the gift He has given. The Bible says:

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him. (Psalm 127:3)

(2) Also, we do child dedications because it is a time for our church to say that we support parents and we embrace our responsibility to help them teach and train their children. Yes, parents are the primary influencers of their children's spiritual development, but the local church also plays a key role in raising up the next generation to become Christ-following leaders.

Here are some pictures from our child dedication service on October 21. The great photos are courtesy of Angela Bertrand. Thank you Ang!
