Anna Li Gray
Born February 13, 1996
Joined her forever family July 28, 2008
Dedicated to the Lord on December 14, 2008
This Sunday we dedicated Anna Li to the Lord. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this, Child dedication is a Sunday-morning ceremony that signifies our commitment to uphold the trust the Lord has given us. It is an event that symbolizes our pledge to raise Anna Li in a Christian home and church where she can come to know, love, and serve Jesus. It also signifies a commitment by the people of our church to provide a loving, biblical community that supports and prays for our family.
The pastor read some beautiful scripture and talked a little bit about Anna Li before he called us to come up. Anna Li knew he was talking about her before he even said her name. She had the biggest smile on her face and she was so very proud. She was given a beautiful pink Children's Study Bible with her name engraved on it, a certificate, and a beautiful red rose. It was a wonderful service and all of her grandparents and one of her aunts got to attend.
After the service we went to Decatur and ate at The Golden Phoenix Restaurant with Papa Denny and Mama Carol. We all had a really good time.
