I know that God wants to speak to each person who enters into worship, either in church or out of church, and I get to help God by allowing the parents to focus on what God has to say and not on the cry's and other distractions of their child. I take very seriously the fact that we enter into a covenant when the parent dedicates a child because as a congregation we promise to be that community that will stand by the parent as they take on the responsibility of raising their child. So I know that as part of my ministry, I'm following through with my promise.
