Parent-Child Dedication
Sunday November 17
9:30 service & 11:00 service
A Child Dedication is an opportunity for parents to publicly declare their intent to raise their child in a way that honors God and also gives the child the opportunity to eventually have a personal relationship with Jesus. In many ways, a “child dedication” is truly a “parent dedication”, as parents publicly declare their intent to raise their child in the faith until the child is old enough to make his own personal confession of belief in Christ.
Contact Children's Minister Amy at amy@countrysidechristianchurch.org if you're interested in dedicating your child.
