Children have always been of special importance to God. The Bible says that “children are a heritage from the Lord” (Psalm 127:3, NKJV). Jesus even told his disciples that the kingdom of heaven belongs to little children (Matthew 19:14). Since it was customary throughout the Bible to dedicate a child to God’s will and guidance, it shows that God wants to be lovingly involved in parenting these special little humans as well.
Why We Dedicate Babies at Germantown SDA Church:
- To express thanks to God for the miracle of birth.
- To ask God to bless and guide our children.
- To dedicate children to God’s will.
- To make a public commitment to raising children in a loving Christian home and welcoming the congregation to show their support.
What to Expect:
The baby dedication ceremony will take place during a Sabbath worship service. The parents, siblings, and extended family are invited to gather in front of the congregation and affirm their commitment as Pastor prays over your baby.
Baby dedications are a precious time for your family and church. They have the unique ability to unite a faith community, parents, and relatives in a united effort to bring up a young child in an environment that introduces them to Jesus and His self-sacrificing love.
