Child Dedications are a Unitarian Universalist rite of passage for babies and young children. Many will include the following elements:

• A blessing for the new life or adoption of a child
• An expression of the parent or guardian’s hopes for the child
• A dedication of Godparents or a “Nurturing Community”
• A promise by the congregation to support and nurture the child and family

This ritual is held during our Sunday service several times a year. If you are interested in having your child dedicated, please contact Rev. Amy Freedman, our Minister of Religious Education: afreedman@firstparish.org
