Baby Dedication Ceremony |
Sunday: June 4, 2006 |
Once a year Richland Baptist Church (RBC) has a baby dedication ceremony in the morning service, at which time parents who have had children in the past year can choose to take part. It is usually a very simple occasion, on which the parents want to publicly commit that they will raise their child in the Lord and his ways. As a result of Samuel not being able to be out in public places, we had a baby dedication ceremony at David and Linda's house. Many of Ginny's family was able to be there, some driving over from Seattle; Pastor Stanley and his wife Jean were able to come, and Monique' and Huey were in town that week so it worked out pretty well. |
