Dedications are designed for parents to take time tospecifically dedicate their child to God.
We offer 2 types of dedication services. For those who prefer a small intimate setting of family and friends, private dedications are offered either at church or in the family’s home. Please contact Robin Blumenthal, the Children’s Pastor, (or any PCC pastor) to set up a time and location for your family. For those who prefer to participate in a larger dedication setting during one of our weekend services, we offer 2 weekends per year.
Next class: TBA (Classes are held 4 times a year on Sundays at 11a.m)
The Children’s Baptism Class, taught by Donna Gudgel, is offered to elementary children and their parents to help answer questions about baptism. Many parents often ask for help in determining if their child is ready to make this important life decision. To offer guidance, Donna has designed a class that is interesting, interactive, and informative. We recommend this class for all children considering baptism. Parents are encouraged to attend with their child. While no pre-registration is necessary, we would love to hear from you if you and your child are planning to attend.
May 31st/June 1st
All children ages two years through high school will be promoted to their new grade/age appropriate classes. More information will be available as the time nears, so be watching.
Preschool parents: All classes are grouped by ages. We promote all at one time so that the children will remain in their appropriate peer/learning groups, which are decided upon by birth dates, attendance and room size.
