Steve and Laura's Dedication Ceremomy

Ephesians 5:1–2 NKJV

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.

Steve and Laura – We’ve only just begun

1. Dedication with 5 minute homily

2. Carpenter’s song

a. We've only just begun to live White lace and promises A kiss for luck and we're on our way (We've only begun)

Before the risin' sun, we fly So many roads to choose We'll start out walkin' and learn to run (And yes, we've just begun)

Sharing horizons that are new to us Watching the signs along the way Talkin' it over, just the two of us Workin' together day to day Together

And when the evening comes, we smile So much of life ahead We'll find a place where there's room to grow (And yes, we've just begun)
