Children

Child Dedications | October 2019

November 21, 2019 by brooke


My name is Ashley Melancon and I am the Preschool Director here at Grace. I have the honor of working alongside Pastor Nichole, leading and serving with an amazing team of volunteers who get to love on the kids here at Grace! These kids are truly amazing!   We had such a beautiful Sunday a few weeks ago — Child Dedication Sunday. At Grace, we invite families to do more than just say that they are committing to leading their child to know Jesus and pray as a unified body of the church; we ask them to take the first step and continue to take these steps by actively committing to show their kids who Jesus is. We believe in the importance of speaking a blessing over their life. If you speak future vision over a child’s life it gives them hope and direction. They will want to live up to what you speak over them. We believe God has made each of us unique. In Genesis 48, we see Jacob gives each of his grandsons an individual blessing, unique to them.  
“Then Jacob looked over at the two boys. “Are these your sons?” he asked. “Yes,” Joseph told him, “these are the sons God has given me here in Egypt.” And Jacob said, “Bring them closer to me, so I can bless them.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭48:8-9‬ ‭(NLT‬‬, emphasis mine)
We encourage families here at Grace to speak a blessing over their child(ren), it can be difficult to find those words but they are worth speaking!

Look what God is doing in Grace Kids! More new families walk through our doors each weekend, so we have been working hard for the past few months creating brand new spaces for kids and freshening up some others. We value kids here at Grace, and more importantly, God values them immeasurably more. Our classrooms are filled with color, toys, and all kinds of fun. All of the rooms in Grace Kids have been designed to ensure that your child has a wonderful, safe, and engaging experience when they come to church. We aren’t just keeping an eye on them so that their parents can be spiritually fed, but we want to give kids that same opportunity. Our goal is to guide them into a genuine faith that can stand strong with all that life will inevitably throw at them by showing them Jesus with every encounter we have with them. At Grace Kids, we play, we worship, we learn, we pray, we are friends, we laugh, we love.

[Jesus said] anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me. (Matthew 18:5)

We know kids are our future, people say it all the time! They say to invest in kids because they will become adults and rule the world soon. While this is very true, we shouldn’t lose sight that they are our present too!! They’re here right now, and they have a purpose right now. The faith of a child can conquer giants. God can and will use kids for Kingdom work, just as they are, no matter how small!

Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” (Matthew 19:14)
