VACATION BIBLE STUDY!
JULY 13 - 17
Hello church family!
Plan your summer now!
This year’s vacation bible school is True North! We have Jesus—our true north! Give kids a rock-solid foundation and point them to Jesus, their unmovable, unshakable friend forever!
Guide kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!

07/13 Child Dedication
Must Register!
What is Child Dedication?
Children that are 12 years of age or younger are dedicated to the
Lord. In the Bible, child dedication is a ceremony where parents
commit to raising their child in faith and acknowledge God as a
part of their family:
• Parents’ commitment
-Must register a child either on Church App: NBCABQ or
call the church office: (505)883-9079.
-Child’s parents must attend a Child Dedication Class prior
to the ceremony.
-Parents promise to raise their child in a godly way,
according to God’s Word, and not their own. They also
commit to praying for their child, setting a good example.
• Scriptural basis for Dedicating Children
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these” Mark 10:14 NIV.
• Child Dedication is modeled throughout the Bible:
-The Israelites brought their 8-day-old children to the priest
for blessing.
-Hannah brought her long-awaited son, Samuel, to the
priest to dedicate him to the Lord.
-Mary and Joseph brought baby Jesus to the temple for
dedication.

Baptism Dress Code
Many people opt to wear a dark colored t-shirt and shorts. Of course, it’s important to remember that you are going to be getting wet, so don’t forget to wear appropriate undergarments. You don’t want to be overly exposed and turn your baptism into an embarrassing moment.
Avoid Wearing White
That way, you won’t have to worry about anything inappropriate happening. White becomes see-through when it is wet. Darker colors are a better choice.
Bring a Change of Clothes
It may sound obvious, but don’t forget to include a change of clothes. You probably don’t want to be wet and cold for the remainder of the service, so bring something you can change into.
Don’t Forget a Towel
Just as important as the change of clothes is to bring a towel.
______________________________________
If your child wishes to be baptized and is in 6th – 8th grade the parents must call Pastor AJ Romero, NBYOUTH Pastor, prior to the baptism date at (505)883-9079.
• Parents’ commitment
Set up an appointment with Pastor AJ, you, and your child prior to the date of our baptismal service or you will be asked to wait until the next baptismal service the following month. This appointment is to make certain that your child is old enough to understand the significance of receiving Christ and be ready to make a public declaration of their faith and verbalize their testimony.
