New Life Celebration

New Life Celebration (NLC) is a ceremony in which believing parents, and sometimes entire families, make a commitment before the Lord and our First Colony family to submit their child to God's will and to raise their child according to God's Word & God's ways.  Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise their child in a godly way, prayerfully until he or she can make a decision on his or her own to follow God.  Parents who make this vow of commitment are instructed to raise their child in the ways of God, and not according to their own ways.

First Colony will celebrate with families of children born or adopted March, 2011 through August, 2011 during the 8:30 AM & 11:00 AM worship services on Sunday, October 30.  We will also host a reception for our NLC families & friends in the Nursery Wing during the 9:45 AM Bible class time.

We encourage NLC families to invite grandparents, family & friends to be present for this milestone celebration.  If you have someone you consider to be a "God parent(s)" in your baby's life, please feel free to ask them to stand with your family during the NLC dedication.

If you would like to participate, please email two pictures and your blessing to by Sunday, October 16.
