Baby Dedication
We see in 1 Samuel 1, that Hannah
had her son Samuel dedicated to the Lord by the priest. As we do not see
anywhere in scriptures where babies were water baptized, we dedicate babies to
the Lord and for His purposes by request of parents.
We hold dedication four times a year
during one of our Sunday services. If one of the parents is a member of MLFC,
please go by the information booth and pick up an application or click here to download one.
