Have you had your child dedicated already? What is child dedication anyway? How is it different from baptism?
Child Dedication is when parents commit to raise their children with biblical standards, and help them walk in the destiny God has prepared for them. Like our local cultural practice, it is usually done when the child is young. However, unlike the local practice, Child Dedication is
not baptism. It is about the commitment of the parent, not the child. The child can choose to be baptized on his own later on. When parents commit to raise their children biblically, they honor their role and importance in the life of the child.
We are having a Child Dedication Ceremony coupled with an Orientation / Parenting Workshop. The Orientation will tell the parents more about this commitment they are making, and will also be a time of equipping for them to be better able to carry out this endeavor. This is on April 5, 2008 (Saturday) at 10 am. The Ceremony will be held together with other families and it will be a joyous occasion! It is on April 12, 2008 (Saturday) 10 am at the Victory Alabang Center.
Spiritual Family class will tell you all about why we gather and what we do as a movement, as a church, and as a family. Everyone is encouraged to attend this at least once, so if you haven't yet, see you there!
