Emmas Dedication
Sunday 27th May 2007
Wellington South Salvation Army



In the dedication of this child you desire to give her fully to God. You wish to thank God for entrusting this precious life into your hands, and you want her to be nurtured in all that is pure, lovely and honest. To this end you promise that you will keep from her, so far as you are able, everything which is likely to harm her in body, mind or spirit.
You also promise that, as she grows in wisdom and stature, you will teach her the truths of the gospel, encourage her to seek Christ as Saviour, and support her in the commitment of her life to the service of God. You must be to her an example of a true Christian.
If you are willing to make these promises, I will receive the child in the name of God, and on behalf of The Salvation Army.
