Child
Dedications |
| |
Child
Dedication at WCC is a public affirmation of a parent’s
dedication to raise children in the “training and instruction
of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4). It also confirms the
congregation’s commitment to love and support them.
Prior to the dedication, parents attend a presentation which
offers resources and information to better equip them to
understand the commitment they are making. Dedications take
place twice a year. |
