Just one of the many reasons is for it's traditions, especially the tradition involving new babies! Whenever a baby comes to church for the first time (and my pastor is aware of it) he brings the baby upfront and prays a blessing over the child. It's not a dedication (that's the parents responsibility) it's a blessing ... asking the Lord to guide and direct this new little one in all their days. It's very precious!
And then if that wasn't enough, the "Women of the Cloth" (our churches quilting ministry) give the new baby a quilt.
Like I've said before, traditions make my heart smile! And these two traditions make it smile 'til it hurts!
