What a great day we had at Center Hill on Sunday. We had a dedication of two new babies and their parents to bring them up in the knowledge and grace of our Lord.
At Center Hill we rejoice in the fact that God blesses families with children ( Psalm 127:3)! He blesses churches with the responsibility to encourage and instruct the family to bring up a child in the way he should go. We as a local congregation have the solemn duty to come along side our young families and by using our gifts, wisdom and experience assist them in their vows to raise Godly children.
We as a congregation do not take that responsibility lightly. Just as the parents of Lilly Reagan and Nicolai Britton made vows to seek God’s blessing and guidance for their children, our congregation made vows to love and support these families as they fulfill their promise. What a great day!

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. And these words which I am commanding you today shall be on your heart. And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:5-7)
