Dedicated to the Lord

On June 29 we dedicated Hannah at church. What that means is we as parents are declaring before God and the congregation that we intend to raise her in the nurture and admonition of Jesus Christ. As described by our pastor, "It is a sober dedication of the parents to the ways of the Lord in raising their child. It is an act that initiates a life-long relationship governed by scripture."
As you can see in the photo, Hannah was intrigued by Pastor Lance's chin.

"Then they brought the little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, 'Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.' And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them."
Mark 10:13-16
