Dedication and Mother's Day


May 9, 2010
This year I celebrated my very first Mother's Day as a Mommy. It was extra special because this is also the day that we dedicated Lucas at church. That means that we are making a commitment to teaching him all about following Jesus. We had quite the crowd including...all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, great friends and even some great grandparents! It is such a blessing to know that Lucas is surrounded by people who are followers of Christ!


It was such a crazy morning I didn't get to take any pictures but Lindsay did so I stole them from her! Thank you!
Our Family :)

A Commitment of Parents to their Children

As parents of children who belong to the Lord, we will make every effort to train our sons and daughters in the way of the Lord, teaching them to know the Scriptures and to walk according to the principles and precepts of God's Word. By our own example and instruction, we will guide our children to follow the commands of God and hold to the hope of His promises.
We promise to teach them to love the Lord our God with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their strength, and to love others as themselves.
We will pray for our children daily and do all within our domain to lead them at the proper time to know and receive Jesus Christ ad their Lord and Savior and to dedicate their lives to serving him faithfully.

A Commitment of the Congregation to the Parents and Children

As witness of the dedication of these parents and children to the Lord, we commit ourselves to live responsible lives before them. Recognizing the influence that we have on others, we will support their commitment by the example of our own lives- demonstrating love, virtue, and faithfulness to the Lord.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14
