Service is at the center of the Christian life. If children are to live the abundant life that God has planned for them, they must learn the value and gift that it is to serve. As a church family we have the opportunity to model lives of service to one another and to our communities. We can involve children in that service so that they learn their about their giftedness and experience the joy of serving. And we can give children significant and important ways to serve! We can dedicate our children to lives of serving God and one another, seeing them as a gift from God as Hannah did!
