This couple up here are my good friends. Monty and Patrelle and their two children, Chase and Hunter. Hunter is the one that is being dedicated today. Pastor Lee loves doing these, he tells us that he feels this is a privilege and even a honor.
What is a baby dedication? Well here at Calvary we don't do baby baptism , the reason is there is nothing in the Bible about younger children being that. It is when they are old enough to make up their own minds to do that.
It talks about what a dad is to do, Palms 127:3-5
Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from him.
Children born to a young man are like sharp arrows in a warriors hands.
How happy is the man whose quiver is full of them!
He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accuses at the city gates.
So just think of this as, when Hunter is old enough to make his chose, he will be able to say I was raised in a Christian home and the people around him will be part of his risen.
