During the dedication service, Hillside’s elders will pray over each child individually; and parents promise before God, their family, and the church to raise their child in a God-honoring way. As your church family, we are here to partner with you as the body of Christ and support you as a family. Please submit a digital picture of your child and a Scripture to be shared during the service to the church office to slusk@hillsidecma.org by May 9 if you plan on participating.
