In the opening scene of "The Lion King," Zazu, the baboon, Shaman of the animal world, takes the lion cub from his parents and raises him high above the assembled animal kingdom to show them that this new one that has been born and to honor his place in their lives. The entire assembly bows down in awe.

We all feel this awe when we see a new baby, the wonder and joy of  this new life that has joined the human family. 

"Since time began parents have presented their children to their families and spiritual communities to celebrate their entrance into the world and the human family." opening words of Penelope's baby blessing ceremony.

Regardless of your religious beliefs, most parents are eager to have a sacred baby blessing ceremony to honor their child, to share their joy and pride and to celebrate their new status as parents.

The baby blessing ceremony Penelope uses is one that involves the official naming of the child, a christening or baptizing ritual (which is optional) a recognizing of family members both present and those remembered. 

The baby blessing ceremony also names the individuals chosen to be Godparents and charges them with the sacred responsibility of being an ongoing part of the child's life and spiritual growth.

I have had the privilege of doing baby blessing ceremonies for many of the couples that I have joined in marriage as well as for families who value this kind of service, but either don't have a church affiliation or prefer a more informal way of honoring their child's birth.

Our beautiful beaches have become a popular venue for baby blessing ceremonies. Other popular sites for baby blessing ceremonies include Greenfield Lake Park, Airlie Gardens, and the  private homes of family members. 

If celebrating your child's life is something you want to share with your family and friends, I hope you'll contact me. It is my sacred honor to perform a baby blessing ceremony and to share this time with your family.

 

 

Rev. Penelope,

I just wanted to thank you again for performing the beautiful ceremony for our daughter. It was simply perfect! You did a wonderful job and we could not have asked for a better day!
I love that you married us and then blessed our daughter. We will be calling you again for the next one, a few years from now!
Thanks again for everything! You are the best!

Jill Bruno
