Baby Dedication

The ceremony for Barrett's baby dedication was beautiful. We are truly blessed to be part of such a wonderful church family. I know with the love and support of each person at Farmer's Branch, we will be able to instill the Christian values into Barrett's life.
There were two blessing read to us. One directed towards Matt and I as parents, and another blessing for Barrett. I loved them both.

Parent's Blessing

As a church, we promise to walk alongside you as you raise your child to live, love, and lead like Jesus. We promise to uphold you in prayer as you teach your child the amazing truths of our Savior. We pray that in keeping with Deuteronomy 6, you inundate your child in the words of God, making Him the foundation of your family. We pray you will lead your child into their own personal faith in Christ and model for them the reality of the full life we all have in Jesus. We join you today in asking for God's blessing on your family as you start this journey. Together, we stand in excitement and anticipation to see how the Lord will use your child to further His Kingdom.

Barrett's Blessing

Child of God, you are a blessing to us, and we now bless you. Always remember that you are made in the image of GOD! You are His, always seen, and forever loved. We pray that the Lord will give you joy and peace. We pray that as you grow, your faith and knowledge of your creator will grow, and that you will choose to live a life committed to Jesus. We pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ my dwell in your heart through faith. And we pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together will all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses to the measure of all the fullness of God.

After the ceremony and church service, the whole family went out to eat at Salt Grass (yum yum). It was nice to visit with everyone and we appreciated them traveling over the miles to share this special day with us.


These books are incredible. The first one is impossible to tear up...so I know it will last a long time. It's the story of Noah, and Barrett loves the animal pictures inside. The second one is 100 Bibles stories along with a CD of 100 songs that accompany each story.
