Why We Do Baby/Child Dedications?

There is nothing more special for parents than to dedicate their children to God.  No matter how old a child is it's never too late.  Our baby/child dedications happen on a Sunday morning twice a year.  These are just as much for the parents as it is for the child.  Together we commit and vow to raise a generation of Christ followers.
