Family Dedication Coming Up
Preparation: Wednesday, Feb. 10, 6:30-8:00 pm, Main 110
Dedication: Sunday morning, Feb. 21, all services


Central to our mission is to encourage families to function as discipleship centers and for parents to take the lead in passing their faith to their children. An important step for families is to participate in a family dedication. This is an opportunity for parents to come before the church with their children to commit them to the Lord and the church to do all in their power to impress the hearts of their children with a love for God and His Word. Register with Ginny Stair, 630.876.6636.
