Introducing your child to God through the Rite of Baptism or a Naming ceremony is the first step on one's spiritual journey
THE WRAP-UP
SPECIAL The Christian Baptismal & Civil Naming
Services Section
"Introducing your child to God, family and the community"
Thank you for reviewing this special section of the web site. We hope that it has answered many of your preliminary questions. Welcoming a child into this world began with your first smile at his or her face. From that moment your child experienced true parental love. Being a parent is a role that few get rewards or praise for as you struggle to give your child the best possible foundation for that eventual time when this tiny person becomes an adult and can pursue his / her own self-supporting life to also possibly build a family.
A first step along your child's journey is a formal welcoming into this world and celebrated by family and friends. This initiation also provides those closest to you the opportunity to express their desire to be a part of the child's life and make a commitment to provide love.
As you have seen, we offer many ways to make this splendid announcement possible. While the Christian Baptism is a popular choice among those who wish to have the child embrace God and His Son, The Lord Jesus Christ, we also provide services to those who wish to follow other customs or paths. The civil services called the "Dedication of Child" or simply "Naming" ceremony are wonderful ceremonies designed to either be spiritual or communal according to your wishes for the child or adult who is the subject of the event and ceremony. Please take a moment and call us at (815) 793-3325 so that we can help you to make this event in your child's (or adult loved one's) life a moment that will be cherished for a lifetime.
