Duncan's Dedication

We dedicated Duncan last Sunday at church along with several other families. In case you aren't familiar with this practice a baby dedication takes the place of a traditional baby baptism. It is a ceremony in which Christian parents promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way until he can make his own decision to be baptized. We promise to take our responsibilities seriously by teaching him the Bible, being a good example ourselves, disciplining according to scripture, and praying for him daily. It's not an easy promise but we had great models growing up in our own families.
