Dedication of Children

The ceremony in The Salvation Army is slightly different to that of Baptism in a Church or Chapel. Water is not used in the ceremony but it is still a presentation of the child to God in thanksgiving and a desire for God to bless and nurture the child in the Christian faith and a seeking of divine help in the bringing up of the child. The officer will be able to explain more fully if you were interested in having a dedication.

No discrimination is made as to whether it is a couple or a single parent requesting the ceremony we have found wherever people have a sincere desire to draw near to God he fulfils His promise to also draw near. Jesus loves children, and in the Bible we see accounts of Him blessing children. One way of looking at Dedication is to see it as handing your child to Jesus to put His hands on the child and to bless him or her.

Annwyl Cyfeillion                                                English Translation Below

Un noson rhoddodd gwraig i mi lyfr a’r teitl ‘Hanes Eglwys Penuel Rhosllanerchrugog’. Doeddwn i ddim wedi gofyn iddi wneud mae hi wedi penderfynu ar ysgogiad i’w fenthyg. Roedd yn diddorol iawn ei ddarllen ag yn mynd yn ôl at y Piwritaniaid yn Wrecsam am Vavasour Powell a Morgan Llwyd a hefyd y Bedyddwyr. Ymhen amser cyrhaeddais hanes y diwygiad yn Rhos yn 1904-5. Adfywiad yw yr angen mwyaf yr Eglwys a’r Capeli a Byddin y Iachawdwriaeth heddiw oherwydd bod ein cefnau at y wal. O ble daw ein Cymorth? Salm 121 oddi wrth yr Arglwydd a wnaeth nefoedd a daear. Rhaid i ni Droi at Dduw a ei wyneb gan ymprydio ac yn edifarhau am ein pechodau a’n camweddau. Heb i aelodau y Capeli a corffluoedd Fyddin yr Iachawdwriaeth fod mewn cytundeb gyda Arglwydd nid oes gobaith. Darllenais mewn lyfr Cymraeg arall am ddyn yn dweud ‘Mai angen yr Eglwys o bryd i’w gilydd yw diwygiad neu bydd yr eglwys farw’! Mae ‘r proffwyd Joel yn sôn am ein sefyllfa lle’r oedd pla’r locust wedi dod tro ar ôl tro a does dim llawer ar ôl. Mae’r proffwyd yn dangos yr ateb ‘Y cyfarfod gweddi’ Mae Eglwysi Rhos Ynghyd wedi trefnu cyfarfod gweddi unwaith y mis ac ar y poster cyntaf yn cyhoeddi’r cyfarfod gweddi roedden ni wedi rhoi y adnod 2 Cronicles 7 : 14 Doeddwn i ddim yn gwybod bod Evan Roberts wedi nodi’r un adnod yn ei feibl ei hun yn gweddïo dros yr adnod am un mlynedd ar ddeg am adfywiad. Dechreuodd y diwygiad 1904-5 ym mis Tachwedd 1904 gyda’r parchedig R. B. Jones yn pregethu yng nghapel Penuel ar gweledigaeth Eseia yn y deml. Eseia p. 6. Y pedair pregeth gyntaf ddechreuodd y diwygiad oeddynt 

1. Gweledigaeth o Dduw yw angen dyfnaf a mwyaf yr eglwys 

2. Mai yr agwedd gyntaf ar Dduw i’w dirnad gan yr eglwys ydyw ei sancteiddrwydd. 

3. Brenhiniaeth Crist 

4. Ganlyniadau gweld Duw yn ei sancteiddrwydd Trodd llawer o bobl at Dduw ac roedd y cyfarfodydd gweddi yn llawn o bobl yn ceisio Duw. Dyma lle i ni cael ein diwygiad personol dyma calon y diwyg

English Translation 

One night a woman gave to me a book and the title ‘History of Chapel Penuel Rhosllanerchrugog’ I hadn’t asked her for a loan she decided on the spur of the moment. It was very interesting reading it and going back to the puritans in Wrexham and Vavasor Powell and Morgan Llwyd and also the Baptists. In time I reached the story of the revival in Rhosllanerchrugog in 1904-5. Revival is the greatest need of the church and chapels and The Salvation Army today because our backs are to the wall. Where does our help come from? Psalm 121 from the Lord who made heaven and earth. We must turn to God and His face by fasting and repentance of our sins and iniquities. Unless the members of the chapels and Salvation Army corps are in accord with the Lord there is no hope. I read in another Welsh book a man saying, ‘The need of the church from time to time is revival or else the church will die’. The prophet Joel speaks about our situation where a plague of locusts had come time after time and there was not much left. The prophet shows the answer ‘The Prayer Meeting ‘ Churches Together Rhosllanerchrugog have arranged a prayer meeting once a month and on the first poster, announcing the prayer meeting, we put the verse 2 Chronicles 7 v. 14. I didn’t know that Evan Roberts had noted the same verse in his own Bible praying over it for eleven years. The revival began in November 1904 with R. B. Jones preaching in Penuel Chapel about Isaiah’s vision in the temple Isaiah c.6 The first four sermons to begin the Revival were, 1. A vision of God is the deepest and greatest need of the church. 2. The first aspect of God to be discerned by the church is his holiness. 3. The kingship of Christ 4. Results of seeing God in his holiness Many people turned to God and the prayer meetings were full of people seeking God. Here is the place to get our personal revival here is the heart of revival.
