Baptism and Dedication not so onerous

This morning there was not only a baby baptism but also a baby dedication.

Baptism is a more a Methodist thing, and dedication is more of a United Reformed thing. And since Trinity is both...

One seemed more appropriate to one baby and one more to the other, and so that is what was done. In the dedication all the family gathered round, and a blessing was given by placing a hand on the baby's head. The commitments were not so onerous.
