Life Transition Ministry

Our ministers are honored to help individuals and families celebrate and acknowledge life transitions, such as weddings, commitment ceremonies, child dedications, and memorial services, for those both inside and outside of our congregation. Honoring life's milestones is an important part of spiritual life and growth, and through counseling and careful service planning, our ministers fully support those experiencing these life transitions.

CHILD DEDICATIONS

Child dedications are our ritual way of welcoming infants and children into the congregation. They are similar to Baptisms, Christenings or Naming Ceremonies in other faith traditions.

For members
, a small child is dedicated as part of our Sunday morning worship services, which we include once each month. We also perform Child Dedications in people's homes.

For non-members
, the dedication will not be available during Sunday service, but we will be more than happy to dedicate your child here at UU Montclair, in your home or some other location with your child's family and community present.

For more information, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
