25th Jan 2008 (Friday)
The baby dedication service was held in the evening during the Region 1 gathering by Ps Jean at Bethel church. Granny, Uncle Luke, Uncle Wilson, Gu Gu Eunice, Jie Jie Helga were there to witness the dedication as well. As Daddy, Mummy and me stood at the altar, Ps Jean requested the RR leaders to come and pray alongside with us. Uncle Chong, Auntie Theresa, Uncle Daniel, Uncle Chong Poh, Uncle Kwang Liang prayed for us as Ps Jean led us in prayer. Daddy and Mummy signed a covenant as followed-
{ We, Ebenezer and Elaine in presenting Eugenia for dedication not only signify our faith in Christ and the Christian way of life, but also indicate our desire that she should grow to know the Lord and live a Christian life.
We realize that presenting a child in dedication to God is a serious matter involving responsibilities. We recognize that the first responsibility is ours and so we pledge that:
We will live an exemplary life before Eugenia that she may by example know what it is to be a Christian;
We shall make our home a place where Eugenia shall receive Christian instructions;
We shall ensure that Eugenia is further nurtured in Christian values and teaching through the Church Education Programme i.e. Toddlers for Christ, Children Ministry, Youth Ministry of Bethel Assembly of God;
We shall pray for Eugenia salvation when she reaches the age of accountability, and that we shall endeavor to lead her to Christ.}
“These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:6-7”; “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6”
