Were you dedicated as a baby?

So as not to hijack Pastor Gary's thread I was wondering how many of us know if we were dedicated to God as a baby? I know I was and that has always been very special to me. I included the other choice for any other thots or opinions. Thanks.

My parents were Seventh Day Adventists and at that time the Adventists did not hold dedication services, in fact they would not baptize children under the age of 10 - 12. Our parents took us to church every Saturday morning and we also Vesper Services on Saturday evening, Friday night Young Peoples service and sometimes I went with my parents to Prayer Meeting on Wednesday.

Well, she almost got it right. You'll have to forgive her, when she slammed the door on her head it kinda rearranged some of her memories. The Vesper Service was on Friday night and Young Peoples was on Saturday night. But she didn't do to bad for someone recalling memories from that faaaaaaarrrrrr back. :wink:

I was dedicated as a baby at the COGOP in Kelso, Washington by Pastor (and my great grandfather) Elmer Evans in 1984.

I think I was about 5 when I was first taken to church. I don't think they even had baby dedications back then.

So, I dedicated myself when I got saved.

The pastor who dedicated me, was an amazing man of God...Bishop Johnny Tolbert. I miss that man.

I was dedicated in a Methodist Church. My mom gave me the certificated. My parents now go to a Baptist Church and I go to Church of God.

My parents had me baptized as an infant in a mainline Protestant church (UMC), but I got saved when I was 11 in spite of that. :lol:

I and all my siblings were dedicated, as were my three sons.. Many times on mission trip I use the youth that go with us to dedicate the children. It really blesses them.

Wrong TW, Vespers Service was always at sundown on Saturday night because it celebrated the end of the Sabbath (look it up - the Sabbath is sundown to sundown). Friday night was the Young Peoples Service, I spent a lot of Friday nights there when I really wanted to be at the football games.

What's your excuse for your failing memory? :roll:

How would I know, I never stayed. :roll:

But Vespers was on Friday night, because after the Young Peoples meetings they would have a skating party or some other activity for the young people, and that could not be done on the Sabbath, so it had to be on Saturday night.

My final word on subject - Young People's Service on Friday night was when the teens took over and held the worship service, the Young People's choir sang, I usually sang in a duet (you were usually down at the local store drinking sodas until the service was over). It was on Saturday night after the Vesper services that we went to the Adventist school for skating or Disney movies and soy hot dogs (ugh). Remember, I was the good one and I was there O:)

, you were the wild one and rarely there :evil:

Hijack is over!
