BABY DEDICATION CEREMONY

good sons.

2. His mother

Joshua, Gods general said, As for me and my house, we will serve the
Lord.

Solomon, teacher and instructor of wisdom, alluded to the fact that a wise

ADDRESS CONGREGATION

The family is a divine institution ordained of God in the beginning of time.


Children are a heritage of God and are committed to their parents for care,
protection and training.
It is important that all parents recognize their obligation and responsibility
to God in this matter.
Moses mother, Jochabed, trained her child after she gave him to God.
Hannah recognized that her child was Jehovahs, because she received
him as from God. She believed that God could do more for him and
through him that she could do, so she gave him back to God while he was
young and tender.
Her sons name was Samuel which means he was God asked, because
he prayed and God granted her request.
There are some mothers and fathers who are afraid to trust their children
to God. Hannah was not afraid. She said, As long as he lives, he shall be
given to God.

The New Testament says that Mary brought the young child, Jesus, to the
temple and now Parents names recognize the sacredness of their
charge and now bring back to God the treasure with which the Lord has
entrusted them.
They publicly acknowledge their responsibility for the nurture and
admonition of this child in the ways of Righteousness.

word.
