... another first!

Today in church there was a baby dedication. How precious. The pastor introduced it this way, this is as important an event as a marriage ceremony. A person brought 2 chairs to the front for the couple. It lasted much longer than the normal 5-10 minutes! I guess it's a good thing they could sit!
A beautiful couple with a gorgeous baby!

After the pastor spoke about the importance of the moment and words about this particular couple, he gave the microphone to the couple and the mother gave testimony to God's greatness in their lives and the new baby.

Then the pastor asked them to stand and he gave the charge to them as parents for the care of this new little gift.

Then he took the baby in his arms as he said, "She is enamored with me!" It was so adorable!

While the pastor prayed over the baby the parents kept contact with their hands on her little head. She didn't make a sound!
Then the parents turned toward the pastor and he read the certificate to them before he showed the certificate to the congregation.

Every little detail so important and so marked with care. It was truly precious in every way.
