Dedication at Church

It was an unusually chilly morning (after the 80+ degree days we had been having) and we dressed Nathan in a 3 month outfit that was rather big on him. He slept all through church in the nursery and I was hoping he'd stay comfortable until after the dedication so I could feed him.

Nathan did a super job all through the dedication. Here he is before the service.

Pastor Jim admitted that we were the first dedication he'd done and you could tell he was a little nervous, but he did a great job. (We'll call it nerves that he called Nathan, Kenneth Nathan two times!)
They did a short PowerPoint presentation with pictures we sent over and the verse that we picked for him.
Pastor Jim gave us an official dedication form, the letter we wrote to Nathan (to be opened on his 18th birthday), and a white New Testament with his name on it.

Unfortunately we didn't get a picture of the final thing that was done. Pastor Jim asked for those people who'd commit to praying and supporting us as we raise Nathan to come up for the prayer. Our life group - the Farmers, Burts, Lopez family, and the Hendersons - my parents, and Rick came up to the front and joined us in prayer.

We are so grateful for this special gift that God gave us and the many people who are supporting us as we raise Nathan. We need all the help we can get!
