Four-month-old Zachary Farquharson received his blessing and anointing with the holy oil at the Central Tabernacle Deliverance Centre in Savanna-la-Mar recently.
The proud parents, Robert Farquharson, a draftsman and Marjorie Delisser, unemployed were modest in their ambitions for their son. When asked what they wanted for Zachary, they said they just wanted him to grow up humble.
Bishop Joyce Bernard who officiated at the service of dedication which involved five other babies, warned parents to be aware of the happenings around. "Our nation is in trouble," warned Bishop Bernard. "We need some more parents to be concerned caregivers. We can't have a child and not aware of the happenings around them.
"For a change to come," she says "One has to be a good parent and live by example."
