Dedication means setting the building apart for something special (ie for the worship of od) , or to commit or devote that building to the work of God. The dedication of a church building can also be called the 'consecration' . The dedication of a church building takes place soon after the building has been completed. A special church service happens where prayers are said to ask God to bless the building, and to pray for all those who will worship in that building in the future. Often a senior church person (e.g. Bishop if a Roman Catholic or Anglican Church) will lead the service, and other important people (like any leaders of organisations who will have use of the church) will be invited. Occasionally church buildings are rededicated - sometimes after a change of name or after some structural alterations.
