In this service, 19 kids were dedicated back to God. Some of them were teenagers who had parents that got saved later in life, some were adopted and never had the opportunity as a baby to be a part of a similar dedication. Both Parents and legal guardians, along with the church, vowed to raise their kids to follow Christ in a beautiful ceremony!!!
