Dedication Day

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. ~Psalm 127:3

We dedicated Drew to the Lord today in church. It was such a special day as we stood up at the front of the church and promised to raise our son in a Christian household, to model Christ to him through our actions, and to teach him about Jesus so that one day he may give his heart to the Lord. Gram & Grandpoppy, Grandma and Grandpa Bossen, and Aunt Heather & Uncle Adam were all there to stand in support of us as we made these promises.

It was a beautiful worship service with all the elements of a Christian celebration. The hour started with a baptism, we sang, Drew was dedicated, we celebrated the Lord's Supper, Andrew played a medley of classic children's praise songs for the offertory, and one of our friend's daughters made a profession of faith at the invitation. Sundays don't get much better than that!

After church, everyone came back to our house for lunch. We had BBQ with all the fixings, apple pie & ice cream.

I'm SO SAD we couldn't make it for Drew's dedication! I love seeing it through pictures and I hope it's the only "event" in his life that we have to miss out on! :)

We love you guys!
