Child Celebration

Thank you for your interest in our Child Celebration service.  Because a dedication of one's life to Jesus is a personal decision, we want to celebrate the birth of a child and dedicate the parents to the task of raising their child in the Lord.  Child Celebration is our way of expressing thanks to God for His gift of children to us. Behold, children are a gift of the Lord; The fruit of the womb is a reward.  Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth.  How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; Psalm 127: 3-5a.

If there is any doubt in your mind that our lord wants us to celebrate the birth of our children, please read through the gospels and examine how God himself expressed excitement and joy on the birth of His son Jesus. And the angel said to them, "Do  not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which shall be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;  Luke 2:10, 11.

As we celebrate the birth of our children, and thank our heavenly Father for such a miraculous gift, we quickly realize the immediate responsibility that we have as parents.  Parents need to be continually training into the lives of their children the truths of God's Word, the Bible, not only through what we say, but how we live out these truths in our daily lives.  God calls us to impress upon our children the commandments of God that we have in our hearts.
