Sunday - Ded·i·ca·tion

This Sunday we was Owen's dedication at church our church.



According to Merriam Webester online Dedication has the following meaning:

Ded·i·ca·tion
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
1 : an act or rite of dedicating to a divine being or to a sacred use
2 : a devoting or setting aside for a particular purpose
3 : a name and often a message prefixed to a literary, musical, or artistic production in tribute to a person or cause
4 : self-sacrificing devotion
5 : a ceremony to mark the official completion or opening of something (as a building)

Why we did this:
Jer and I want to hold ourselves accountable for helping teach Owen about our faith and our church. This was a symbol of our devotion to do this. The whole day went very well.



My favorite part of the day:
When Pastor Brad talked about Owen's name and what it meant. We loved his name for it's meaning as well as the names themselves. However, it was neat to see it put through someone else's eyes. Owen Wyatt according to PB's research means immovable little warrior.
