Child Dedication (Room 1)
There’s no doubt about it – children are a blessing from the Lord!  They’re one of the biggest responsibilities the Lord can give us.  One of the ways to set the tone for how you desire to raise your children in the ways of Jesus is through Child Dedication.  If you have young children and are interested in dedicating them to the Lord join us for this class!
