Carl and I made the personal decision to have a Dedication ceremony for our girls recently. We grew up quite differently and I think it was expected for us to have the girls baptized and not only baptized but baptized by the same pastor who baptized and married me and all of our families. We however made this choice based on our personal beliefs, and I think that Steve (the host/leader of the ceremony) does an incredible job of explaining it all. Steve is a part of a bible study/small group that Carl attends at church. He has become a good friend and mentor to Carl and was the perfect choice to lead this for us and we were honored he agreed…he did awesome!
We made the choice to have a private ceremony for family only so it was much more personal as opposed to a group dedication that they do at the church we attend. Doing it privately we were able to work with Steve and he was able to convey our thoughts and feelings eloquently and relate it to scripture and make it completely unique and personal. We also had an important commitment that we wanted to ask of our family and we hope and pray that they will follow through with it.
Without any further ado enjoy the video of this precious service that truly speaks for itself.
