First baby naming in Ringwood Meeting House for at least 40 years #Unitarians
After our gathering for reverence on 12th August 2018, the Meeting House became the host for a baby naming ceremony. It was with great pleasure that we welcomed a couple, whose wedding in 2014 had also been the first wedding to be held in the Meeting House for at least forty years, with their son and the usual cohort of god-parents.
Our president involved everyone, inviting those of 11 years and under to come and change the ordinary tap water into blessed water for the ceremony. The children each poured some water into the 90 year old font, then made it special by placing their fingers in the font along with their wish for the the baby being dedicated. The assembled company asked for divine blessing on the water and, through it, the baby. A happy occasion that we hope to see repeated in the Meeting House in the coming years!
