Parent and Child Dedication

We had an awesome time with Parent and Child Dedication yesterday! What a blessing! We had 8 children and 7 different families dedicated! It is always great to see the church come together and support this wonderful celebration and commitment in the lives of these families!

I am already looking forward to the dedication in the Fall! It is going to be great and we will taking parents to another level of commitment with this one and other dedications in the future. Get ready parents, I am going to be asking for a bigger commitment! We will be using a curriculum that will walk us through the process of making this commitment to the Lord and to the church!

Why, you ask! Because we have had several families come and dedicate their children here at Calvary, and then they have failed to come back to church at all! This is so sad to me! I want to see parents take this Dedication seriously and not just as something that they have checked off their "to-do" list for their child! Nothing will be hard in this process, but it will definitely take a greater commitment to the process! It will challenge the way that you parent and it will challenge your vision of parenting! It will also help you catch a glimpse of why we do things the way that we do here in the Treetop.

I look forward to partnering with parents through this process and creating a process that will help parents become what God intended for them to be!
