A Child Dedication service is an opportunity for parents to publicly declare their intent to raise their child in a way that honors God and also give the child the opportunity to eventually have a personal relationship with Jesus. In many ways a "child dedication" service is truly a "parent dedication" service, as parents publicly declare to raise their child in the faith until the child is old enough to make his own personal confession of Christ. It's also a time for family, friends, and the church body here at East Side to say we will partner with you, as best we can, to see that this takes place. All participating parents will need to attend the child dedication preparation class on Wednesday, December 13, at 6:15pm.
