Rev. Melissa Mantha - Baby Blessing Information

Baby Blessings

"Your children are the sons and the daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you, And though they are with you yet they belong not to you." -- Kahlil Gibran

I am honored that you are considering my services for your special celebration. I am looking forward to the work that we will do together to make your baby’s blessing a unique and special day.

My services include a meeting with the parents to discuss the ceremony, cultural traditions, and spiritual paths. I like to customize what I say as much as possible.
Please consider all of your options for your celebration. There are so many ritual elements from spiritual traditions that will make your day uniquely yours.

• Naming ceremony
• Water blessing
• Poems, Music, Blessings & Prayers

• Candle lighting
• Honoring the Ancestors
• Family and Friends blessing

Please contact me to look at any of the materials that I provide and know that nothing is set in stone. There are more possibilities for a baby blessing than I could provide on a few sheets of paper. I invite you to do your own research as well
I love being able to create and customize celebrations. They are all special, unique and fun. Blessings to your family as you prepare for your special day!

"We had a beautiful baby blessing at our home. Rev. Melissa created an environment that brought everyone together; our families differed on the exact idea of what a ceremony "should be" for our baby boy, Taegan. Yet through respect and listening, the ceremony Melissa created touched all of us deeply, reaching a place that has meaning. I was impressed that we somehow pleased everyone, including ourselves! This was due to Melissa's guidance with us (the parents), patience with the families and spiritual intention.
Thank you so very much Melissa for your openness, love and vibrant spirit."
