Yesterday, we had a Christian Family Dedication at our church. This is the third of our children that has been dedicated in this manner--one in Texas, one in Mississippi, and now one in Illinois.

This is the first such dedication we have had since I came to serve at Mulberry Grove. It is also the first that I have had the privilege to conduct as pastor. It was very meaningful to me to conduct my first family dedication service as both pastor and father. Thanks to our associate pastor for his help in the service. Thanks to the church for their support of us and of all parents who desire to raise their children in a Christian home environment.
