Carter's Dedication

I am not sure if I mentioned this on the blog or not, but back in November we joined a church. We visited off and on for several months before setting up a meeting with the pastor to confirm we were ready to join. Since then we have found a Sunday School class that we are really enjoying - both for the fellowship and for the lessons, Carter is loving the nursery, and we are feeling a part of a church community again.

Shortly after we joined Carter was dedicated. It was a very special service for us and even though our family was not able to be here in person, our church streams their service live on the web so most of Carter's grandparents were able to watch the dedication service live. Pretty cool, huh?

Carter received a small Bible with Psalms and the New Testament. Just this last week we received pictures from the service.



Just before we walked in for the dedication, Carter was making really loud choo choo noises and crawling up and down some stairs. But he mellowed out pretty quickly once he was in front of the congregation.

Carter even let our pastor take him for a stroll up the center aisle so everyone could get a good look. Carter wasn't so sure about that part and eventually asked for Da Da, but all in all he did great.



Here is the verse we chose for his dedication:

"The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17
