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.
