There are 4 parts to participating in the Baby Dedication Celebration.

1. Register
2. Prepare: Please download and complete the homework assignment to help you prepare for the Baby Dedication Celebration: Download Homework
3. The Celebration: Saturday at the Ensley location in the Commons. It’s you and your closest family and friends at one table. You will have an individual cake to enjoy, sharing in a time of prayer & dedication for your baby. To protect this intimate environment for everyone involved, we recommend a limit of 8 people at your table, but exceptions can be made for up to 10-12, if necessary. Each family will also have a photo taken. Please bring the Homework to the event.
4. Sunday Morning Recognition and Prayer: Please join us Sunday morning, November 9, for our 9am service for a time of recognition and prayer. During the host portion of the morning all participating families will come up on the stage for a time of prayer and recognition. You don’t need to prepare anything. You will simply share your names and then the host will pray.

Common Questions

1. What should we wear?
   Saturday is a casual event so wear something comfortable, and something that you would like to be photographed in.
2. Where do we go?
   Park on the west side of the building near the overhang. We will gather in the Commons.
3. How many people can we invite?
   Each table can comfortably seat 8 adults. To protect the intimate environment for everyone involved, we recommend a limit of 8 people at your table, but exceptions can be made for up to 10-12, if necessary (you don’t need to include your baby in the total).
4. Can young children attend?
   Of course, please let us know your other children’s ages so we can provide an activity for them.
5. What do I do if my baby cries?
   We love this question! We expect there will be some crying! Every parent in the room completely understands and is sitting with a baby too. This event is designed to include your wiggly baby, so don’t worry.
6. How long does it last?
   Structured time will last a little more than 30 minutes leaving time to enjoy cake and your table guests.
