BABY DEDICATION: A service to dedicate parents and their babies or small children. We are currently doing dedication quarterly due to growing numbers of births per year. Parents are given a bud vase with two roses, a certificate, and a white Bible for the baby. We are hoping for no more individual dedications since we are doing the church wide dedication quarterly.
