Child dedication ceremonies for infants and children replace a baptism or christening. The ceremony is usually crafted by the parents with help of Rev. Michelle and may include many the following elements:

• A blessing for the new life of the child
• An expression of the parent or parents’ hopes for the child
• A promise by the congregation to support and nurture the child

If you are interested in having your child dedicated by Rev. Michelle, please contact her at minister@uuamherst.org
