If you follow our blog regularly, you remember me saying that we joined a church back in April! This weekend, we had Jack dedicated at church. A dedication is similar to a baptism, but our church does not do infant (or in Jack's case, toddler) baptisms. A baby dedication is a ceremony in which believing parents, and family and friends of the child, make a commitment before the Lord to submit the child to God's will and to raise that child according to God's Word and God's ways. My parents came down for the weekend, and our good friends, Arrena and DeLynne, joined us on Sunday to support Jack. We had lots of other friends and family who couldn't make it, but were praying for us!
I've included lots of pictures from our weekend, so enjoy!

Pastor John annointed each baby that was dedicated with oil.
Oil on Jacks feet: So that he might always walk with God.
Oil on Jack's hands: So that he might always be about the work of the Lord.
Oil on Jack's head: So that he might always have the mind of Christ. |
