Dedication |

 |
When our children were born, we experienced the joy and excitement shared by all new parents as we witnessed new life come into the world. We knew we were grateful and wanted to share in some sort of "birth ceremony" with friends, family and grandparents. |
| Deciding which sort of ceremony was not really too difficult; we decided to have a Dedication Service. We wanted to say thank you to God in a public way, and at the same time make it clear we understood that although we held Christian beliefs, that did not mean that these new lives were automatically Christian. That step would involve a personal declaration of faith and belief by each child when they were older. | |
