Strengthening family ministry

Strengthening family ministry means touching the lives of families within your church and the community by helping parents discover they really can make spiritual connections with their kids, helping families connect with other families and ensuring that every family feels secure in the larger faith family, supported and encouraged through the various phases of life. The birth of a child is a wonderful phase of life and when parents present their little one for dedication, the entire church family should be involved.  

Baby Dedication is…

• An opportunity to thank God for the precious gift of your child.
• An opportunity to publicly declare your intentions to raise your child in a Christian home.
• A benchmark you can return to time and time again.
• A family dedication, where the parents commit themselves to abide by biblical principles and to raise their children according to God’s standards
• An opportunity for the church family to accept and share in the spiritual nurture of the child

Use some of these ideas and resources to create a meaningful experience for the whole church family.........
*Bring the whole family forward as they present their child for dedication. 
*Show a inspirational clip as they come forward   eg A Dedication from www.worshiphousemedia.com, Wonderfully Made or Baby Dedication from www.sermonspice.com
*Present the family with a commemorative certificate. If you don't have one prepared to use, download one here, personalise and print it.
