The birth of a child is cause for celebration. Many parents wish to welcome a new child into their family in a formal way in the presence of family and friends. Whether you choose to call the ceremony a Naming Ceremony or a Baptism, the purpose is to give thanks for your child and for you and others to make promises to him or her that are heartfelt and meaningful. We do not have a set ceremony nor initiate the child into a particular faith although the ceremony will reflect your own spiritual beliefs, if any. You may choose religious or secular readings and poems, include prayers and a hymn/song or music of your choosing. Perhaps you would like an older sibling or a grandparent to take part in the ceremony too. We will work with you to create a ceremony which reflects who you are as a family.
The fee is currently £300. A deposit will be required on booking.
A Unitarian ceremony offers you the freedom to mark life’s key moments in a way that reflects who you are and what you see as important. We take the time to talk to you to make sure that the ceremony will have the look and feel that you want.
If you are interested in arranging a ceremony for your baby or child, a thanksgiving following adoption or a ceremony for an older child, please call in the Chapel office if it is open or contact our Minister, Rev. Amanda Reynolds:
