Baby Dedication Vows For Godparents. During the service the wife will pass the child to the father for the vow of dedication. A baby is unable to understand or respond during the service so its your job to make certain commitments on their behalf.
Its also an acceptance by the parents that the church will be a safe and conducive place. The father holding the child during this time symbolizes that the husband is the familys spiritual head. It defines memorable details of the childs dedication to the church and to God by his parents.
Just to start off.
Christian couples may choose to bring their new babies or toddlers to the church for a baby dedication ceremony. During the dedication service parents express vows before God their family and the church declaring their desire to raise their child in a God-honoring way. Have the wife hold the baby as the family comes forward. In this case Gods gifts to you DO have.
