Andrew's Dedication

We had Andrew's dedication yesterday. We promised to raise Andrew in a Godly manner.













Pastor is going to pray for Andrew.


Dan is showing Andrew the New Testament he received.
Pastor and Bethann sang "Wordless Ones" by Micheal Card.
"In Your loving arms we lay, this wordless one so new; the incarnation of our love we dedicate to You.
Hopeless, yet so full of hope, we make a solemn vow, not knowing when the time will come, not even knowing how. And though it seems, we try to make a promise that is true, we really only claim for them the Promise that is You.
The holy sleep which falls so deep, a blessing from above, will now embrace our little one in simple trusting love. We offer You this child, who's only ours for just awhile. How could we keep it back from You, when You gave Your only child?
In Your loving arms we lay, this wordless one so new. The incarnation of our love we dedicate to You."

Such a special time, having your baby dedicated! :) Thanks for sharing the photos... and what a great idea, to have William's b-day party right afterwards. Looks like a nice time w/ the extended family (well, minus us...)! :)
