We Place Lily in Your Hands
tender family worship for a church dedication
At Lily's church dedication, her parents bring a prayer built from what is already in the sanctuary: the white blanket her grandmother knitted, her godparents nearby, and family gathered around.
They ask God for wisdom as they raise Lily with kindness, courage, truth, and faith, and for faithful people to walk beside her as she grows.
