Child Dedication & Ice Cream Social
Sunday, March 10 @ 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Child dedications are an opportunity for East Shore’s U.U. family community to gather together in blessing and ritual. Families of every shape and form participate in our service with words of wisdom and sharing. This year, we incorporate the Child Dedication as part of our International Women’s Day Service on March 10. Service will be followed by an Ice Cream social.
How to Attend
Please contact Amanda Uluhan, Director of Religious Education, by emailing [email protected] if you are interested in participating in the child dedication.
All are welcome for ice cream! If you want to bring a topping, sign up here. Please help us keep it nut free!
More Information
Rather than holding Christian-style baptisms or christenings, most Unitarian Universalist congregations have child dedication ceremonies for infants and children. Many will include the following elements:
- A blessing for the new life of the child
- An expression of the parent or parents’ hopes for the child
- A promise by the congregation to support and nurture the child

Our lower, main parking lot is also off SE 32nd Street. There are stairs that will lead you up to the Sanctuary. If that lot is full, there is also street parking on 32nd Street.
