Dedication

Service Description

Child dedication is a ceremonial practice typically observed in various religious and cultural contexts, where parents present their child before a congregation or community to commit to raising them in accordance with particular values or beliefs. Unlike baptism, which often involves water and signifies an individual's initiation into a faith, child dedication focuses on the parents' promise to nurture their child's spiritual growth and moral upbringing. The ceremony often includes prayers, blessings, and the participation of the community, emphasizing the collective support in the child's upbringing while celebrating the new life in a family and the faith community.
