As a licensed minister I take great privilege in serving families doing baby dedications and baptisms. It's a unique foundation that brings together families and friends as they celebrate their children's birth and yield themselves and their children to the care and safety of God/a Higher Power. It's an opportunity to partner together on behalf of the child(ren) knowing that it is easier for a tribe to run a clan than going it alone. It's also a commitment to our responsibility of giving them 100% of our best and trusting our immediate close relationships to follow suit in our endeavor for our children's success.
I love doing baby dedications in places that are meaningful to you like your home, a park, a restaurant or church. I love learning why you chose the name of your child(ren) because they mean so much to you. I love hearing your stories and visions for your child(ren) for their success, and more importantly am thrilled that over the years to come they have a head start in their future because you believe in them so much.
While this can be an overwhelming, but exciting, time in your life as you adjust to the growth of your family, I am here to help you every step of the way. While we can plan the dedication in a week's time, if possible it's less stressful for everyone if we begin the planning three weeks in advance. We'll get together wherever you're comfortable and go over your story, the story of your child(ren), where you want to have the dedication, things you want included such as ceremonies or rituals you want included, if you're planning to name godparents, and any other important details. We'll continue to talk by email and phone calls/chats as we get to the day of the dedication, and after the dedication I'll present you with a certificate of dedication that will be a treasure for your family and child(ren) for years to come.
I'd be honored to be part of this special day to honor your child(ren), please reach out at your earliest convenience so we can start celebrating.
