Baby Blessings is the beginning of a journey you and your child will take together towards spiritual growth. It’s the first milestone in Legacy of Faith, the Paramount initiative in which we partner with you to support your family throughout your child’s faith journey. Baby Blessings is a 3-step process designed for parents with children between birth and two years of age:
Step 1: Parenting Talks
Listen to three inspirational Parenting Talks either on CD or in MP3 format downloaded from the sidebar at right. Each talk is 10–15 minutes in length and includes a brief homework assignment, which is also included in the Baby Blessings packet (if you do not have a packet and would like one, contact Joy Cole).
Step 2: Milestones 101
This is an orientation meeting on October 20, for parents who have done the homework assignments and wish to participate in the Baby Blessings Celebration the weekend of November 12–13, 2011. Join us at 6:30 pm in the Fireside Room for a light supper and a time of equipping and preparation. An added benefit is meeting and networking with other parents who have recently had a baby. Childcare is provided by reservation.
Step 3: Baby Blessings Celebration!
Invite your family to join your church family on Saturday, Nov. 12, or Sunday, Nov. 13 for this unique time. At Milestones 101, you’ll choose which service you would like to participate in; then turn in your completed checklist card (included in the packet). A part of the celebration is a brunch at 10 am Sunday for parents and up to four additional family members. During the Saturday-night or Sunday-morning service, parents will dedicate themselves and their children to the Lord. The remainder of the worship time will be planned to offer encouragement and support for families. A photographer will be available to take keepsake pictures of you and your child.
We hope this time will be very meaningful to you and your family. If you have specific questions, contact Joy Cole.
