Blessings and Baptisms

We are not bound by religious rules and customs and so can offer a personal ceremony to welcome the birth of a new child into the family.

The ceremony may be called a Naming, Dedication, Blessing, Thanksgiving Ceremony or Baptism. What is important for us is the commitment by the community, as well as the parents and friends, to offer the child love and support through their journey growing up. The form and content of the ceremony will depend on discussions between the child's parents and Philip. The resulting ceremony will be something unique to that child. The ceremony can be performed during the Sunday Service or at a time suitable for the family, friends, and Minister.
