Today was Miss Maeve's dedication at church!
The "ceremony" (for lack of a better word) is a public commitment before the church family and the Lord that you, as parents, intend to raise your child to be a servant of God.
We were so blessed to have my Madre with us for the weekend and
it was even more special since she could stand up with us!
I feel it is moving and powerful to publicly declare before your church family your intentions to raise a child to love the Lord.
We're so thankful for our church family and for the support and friendships we have there--
God bless you little Maeve and God help us as we endeavor to raise you according to His Word, equipping you for His purpose!

We did the same with all three of our children. It is an awesome repsonsibility being a parent - keep up the great work you and Mr. Wonderful are doing. I enjoy seeing the growth and change every time I see my nieces!
We have dedicated all of our short people, as opposed to the United Methodist tradition of baptism. We really want our children's faith to be a choice they make, not baptism as our choice for them (even though that is our prayer for them).
Happy Dedication Day, Maeve!
I thank God for you all. May He continue to richly bless you.
That's great! Congrats! :)
And super cute necklace, by the way.
yeah! We just had the first of 2 classes at our church on dedication for B:)
Fun times!
