Join Long Hollow on Sunday, October 20 for a special Child Dedication Celebration where we will honor families who are choosing to publicly commit their children to the Lord.
Child Dedication will be in the Student Building and include a light breakfast, a short video, and a presentation of what it looks like to commit your child to a Christian home. Families will take the stage in the Worship Center at the beginning of the service for a quick time of prayer from our Pastor, Robby Gallaty.

The 9:30 a.m. service dedication will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Student Building.
