Baby Dedications are a wonderful time for families to come before the church body to acknowledge that babies are a great gift from God!  Parents are asking for prayers and encouragement as they desire to raise their children according to God's standards in the Bible. 

The act of dedicating a child to God was a common practice in Old and New Testament times.  As believers in Christ, we dedicate children for many of the same reasons because it is: 

• An opportunity for parents to acknowledge God's incredible blessing of children as a gift from God.  (Psalm 127:3)
• A formal recognition that the child belongs to God. (Psalm 24:1)
• A public commitment on the part of the parents and body of Christ to teach God's Word and encourage them in the spiritual development.  (Deut. 6:5-7)
• A challenge for parents to raise and discipline their children according to God's standards.  (Ephesians 6:4)

Sugar Creek Baptist dedicates children once a month during most months of the year.  We have limited space during the 9:30 and 11:00 service.  Please call ahead to schedule a dedication for your child.  Contact Melinda Phillips at 281-274-7409 or email her at mphillips@sugarcreek.net . 

And be sure to tell friends or family that cannot attend to watch our live broadcasts Sunday morning, so they can share in this special time.
