Parent - Child Dedication Service
*Nov.
13, 2005*
*Pastor: *When Christian parents present their child
to God before the congregation,
they come to thank God
for the life entrusted to them,
to offer their child back to God
and to ask for God’s blessing on their family life.
We, as a congregation, come to share their joy,
to pray with them for the child’s well-being
and to receive him~/her
into the care of the church.
Like Hannah and Mary in the Bible,
you have brought your children here
to consecrate them to God.
You have come to offer your child
into the strong and tender providence of God
and the nurture of the church.
You have come because Jesus said:
“Let the little children come to me.”
*The Questions (to the parents)*
*Pastor: *Do you accept your child
as a gift from of God?
*Parents: *We do.
* *
*Pastor: *Do you dedicate yourselves as parents
to bring up your child in the nurture
and admonition of the Lord,
teaching him~/her to know Christ?
Will you see that this child is nurtured
in the faith of the church,
and by your prayers and witness
guide it into the full stature of Christ?
*Parents: *We do.
* *
*Pastor: *Do you promise to surrender your child to God,
trusting in God’s grace
and love
to nurture and sustain it?
*Parents: *We do.
*Pastor (to the congregation):*
Brothers and Sisters,
as a church family,
do you accept responsibility
for the well-being of these children,
will you by prayer, example, and words
support their parents in nurturing these children
to respond to the grace and truth
that are in Christ?
*Congregation:* /We will/.

The Act of Consecration
*Pastor: *Dear Parents,
may the God who has entrusted you with this child
grant you fullness of love in raising it.
May God grant you the grace
to live a life of faithfulness to the gospel
before your children so that they might
know the way of the kingdom.

*(To the Children) *
The God who created you,
who sent his Son to redeem you,
and his Spirit to dwell in you,
watch over you,
enabling you to seek, to find,
and to know him.

Our heavenly Father, we thank you for our child.
We accept this child as a sacred trust.
Help us to nurture, to love, to counsel, to teach, to train,
And to show our child the love of God.
Give us your Spirit with strength and wisdom.
May our child one day receive Jesus as Savior and Lord.
We surrender our child to you,
