Christenings and Dedications

This is your ceremony, for your child,
and to thank God for His precious gift of a new little life!

What happens at a Christening or Dedication?

The brilliance of having your own Christening or Dedication ceremony, is that you are not bound by any church timetable, religious belief system or decree, service length, or plain church setting.

I believe are children are too precious to not celebrate their arrival and consequence in our lives. I perform biblical Christian ceremonies for those wishing this type of service. As a civil celebrant, I am able to perform any of type of ceremony, blessing, or dedication your family desires as I am not bound by any particular religious decree or church obligation.

Have you considered...

• Would you like to hold it at home, the beach or perhaps a park?
  
• What readings from the bible would you like to include?
  
• What promises to God would you like to make that are personal and meaningful to you?
  
• What hopes and dreams do you have for your child that you would like to have prayed over him/her?
  
• Would you like to include singing, poems or special tributes by family and friends?
  
• Will you be having Godparents to help you in your task of raising your child according biblical principles?

At the conclusion of the ceremony, I present a beautiful Christening Certificate or Dedication Certficate to commemerate the day, and the Dedication Book is signed by parents and Godparents.

How do you choose Godparents or Guardians?

The Little Children and Jesus
Luke 18:15-17 (NIV)

People were also bringing babies to Jesus to have him touch them.
When the disciples saw this, they rebuked them.
But Jesus called the children to him and said,
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."
