CELEBRATING
NEW LIFE |
|
A Service of Thanksgiving & Blessing for the Birth of your Baby
|
||
The
arrival of a baby has always been cause for celebration in every society
and culture. It also provides an opportunity to seek God’s blessing
on the life of a newborn infant. Unfortunately, amidst our hectic 21st
century lifestyle, such meaningful rites of passage have all but disappeared,
though some still mark the happy occasion with a service of baptism in
their local church. Many parents however feel it important to wait until
their child reaches an age where they are old enough to decide for themselves
how they might wish to express their religious beliefs. |
