Baby Dedication

Finally - a little time for a new update. This past Sunday was Baby Dedication at our church. The purpose of this special day is to make a commitment to the Lord that you will raise your child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. You pledge to pray and read the Bible with your child and raise them in a way that would be pleasing to the Lord.


This was a special day that we shared with Bryce's grandparents and my Aunt Linda.


Bryce with Pastor Chase.


This picture just touches my heart - I love how Taylor is being such a good girl and bowing her head while Pastor was praying.

Pastor Terry also said a few words about Aunt Linda's visit. She has been trying to visit every church that had her on their prayer list while she was undergoing treatment for cancer. She thanked our congregation for their prayers and thanked the Lord for being in remission. Praise God!

"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

"We, Neal and Lori, pledge before God and this church to rear, Bryce John Austin, in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

We further pledge to make prayer, Bible study and church attendance a vital part of our weekly activity. Confessing that these are the keys to carrying out my pledge this day before God and this church.

God being our helper, we pledge to live before, Bryce, a Christ-like example in our lives, language, leisure and all other activities of life.

To pray with Bryce regularly.

To earnestly and vigorously seek the salvation of Bryce by good and Godly teaching, prayer and proper exposure to Christian thought.

And to guard or home against the invasion of anything that will disturb it's spirituality and security...so help us God."
