One of the most important traditions in a religious community is celebrating life transitions with meaningful rituals. Rather than holding baptisms or christenings, Unitarian Universalist congregations have child dedication ceremonies for infants and children.
Child dedications are a rite-of-passage offered as a celebration of children. A child dedication allows parents an opportunity to express their hopes and dreams for their children and allows the congregation to welcome children and dedicate themselves to the spiritual nurturing of each child.
We will offer child dedications during the worship services for any child (infant-age 12) whose family has recently joined our congregation or who has not yet had the opportunity to be dedicated.
Please contact the minister or church office for more information.
We look forward to celebrating this special day with you!
For each child that’s born, a morning star rises and sings to the universe who we are. We are our grandmother’s prayers. We are our grandfather’s dreamings. We are the breath of the ancestors. We are the spirit of god.
