Dedication Service for Baby Timothy Kohutka

We were at the Kamyanitza Church yesterday evening for the very special service committed to the dedication of Stephen's and Vita's son Timothy. Their son is now two months old. Joining the congregation were members of Vita's family traveling from Tyachiv Region, about 100 miles southeast of where we are located. Also, some members of Stephen's family attended. All four grandparents of Timothy were present.
It was a tremendous privilege to be present to share in this family service. It was a time of family rite as the young family deepened their trust in the Lord and committed themselves and their child to the service of God. Tim was honored to be able to offer a challenging message from the life of Samuel. Near the conclusion of the service there was a prayer of dedication offered in a series from the grandparents, Stephen, Vita, and finally the pastor. The family was presented a very nice volume about Christian history and a bouquet of flowers. Following the service there was a huge feast at the Kohutka home, where three of Stephen's brothers and two of Vita's sisters joined the fellowship.
Praise the Lord for Stephen & Vita and their commitment to yield their family to the will of God.
