Baby Dedication


Yesterday we had baby Naomi dedicated. Dedication is a ceremony in which the parents pledging to raise the child according to the Christian faith and the church is pledging its support. The basic idea is that we are showing God that we realize Naomi is really his child, and we are entrusted with her care.

It's a little hard to explain. But dedication is a little bit like baptism (infant baptism anyway), but it's not a sacrament, and it doesn't involve water.
