Baby Day This Sunday

A few people have had a couple questions concerning Baby Dedication Day this Sunday. So here is a little more about it.

We take this time to recognize Gods gift of children and present them to Jesus, recognizing they are first his and then call parents to steward his gracious gift well loving an leading them to Jesus as they grow. We will introduce kids to the church in order for the body/family to know our children and pray for them as the church seeks to also lead and love our kids collectively. During this time we introduce the kids and their parents, call them to the great responsibility and joy of parenting and then as a church present them to God and pray over them to know and receive God's provision, protection and saving faith as they grow. To acknowledge God’s grace in giving children, all Parents to recognize their God-given responsibility and ask for help from their community of faith in raising their children.

It's a fun time to give back to God and remind us all of our call as a church. I wold greatly encourage any regular participants of Mystery to include their 2 and under children....oh and parents get a free book.
