We Are Happy To Do Baby/child Dedications

Children are a blessing from the Lord and it is very honourable to dedicate that child to the Lord. It's exciting whenever a new child enters a family. Whether you are the parent, the guardian or a relative, we would be happy to pray God's blessings upon our loved one. Baby dedications are open to anyone, we are here to serve our community and the world.

The idea of dedicating a child to God can certainly be found in the Bible. For example, Hannah was a woman unable to bear a child. She prayed for a child and promised to dedicate him to the Lord if He would give her a son (1 Samuel 1:11). Joseph and Mary took baby Jesus to the temple for a dedication (Luke 2:22), a common practice under the Jewish law.

There's no greater moment when parents sense that children are a gift from God. In these joyful moments, baby dedications commonly seek to challenge parents to commit themselves to raising their child in a godly manner, ask for God's blessing upon the child, and ask the church congregation to commit to helping the family by providing a spiritual community to assist in the development of the child.

If you would like to have a baby/child christened or dedicated at our church, please contact us at 215-487-5123 or email us at churchoffice@brynmawrcog.org. We look forward to sharing with you for this special moment.
