Celebrating a New Life at BPC!

“ Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you. The days of my life all prepared before I’d even lived one day.” Psalm 139:16 The Message

Last Sunday at BPC we celebrated a brand new life! It was an honor for me to dedicate Nicholas James Eckman to the Lord! Congratulations to Dad Mike & Mom Kara as well as Grandpa Pete & Grandma Sue & the rest of their family & friends, we are so excited for you guys! Little Nicky was sharply dressed in blue & white and handled himself very well during the dedication up in front of the entire BPC congregation. Everyone stretched forth their hands as a sign of blessing as I prayed for Nicky & his parents. Francie then presented Kara with 3 single white roses (1 for Mom & 1 for each Grandma) and Mike with Nicky’s certificate of dedication. Following the service we all headed down to the Lower Level for a luncheon.

At BPC we recognize that children are a gift & blessing from God so we celebrate that! We take special time out of our service to pray for each infant & child; that God would give them good health & kept safe in our world. We pray for Gods protection over their lives as they grow up to know & serve the Lord as He reveals to them His purpose for their lives. We also pray for the parents & extended family; that God would bless them with wisdom & peace as they do their best to honor Him & create a healthy environment for their children to grow up in.

Yes Sir, when we dedicate babies & children at BPC it’s a very special time. In fact, it’s a celebration of a new life!
