Baby Blessings

Welcoming a New Addition to Your Family

New life abounds.

Welcome to the little one! A service to welcome the little one is a great way to honor and celebrate the child’s arrival with family and friends. A service will be designed based on your personal preferences and may or may not include a religious component. There are many options to offer you to make the celebration your own. [With Always and Forever Life Celebrations, every baby blessing is uniquely crafted for each family. Our team of certified professionals, serve families across Michigan.]

Infant Baptism

I am honored to perform the baptism for your newborn child. I have had the great joy of administering baptism and baby naming ceremonies for many of the couple who weddings I have officiated. While some couples choose to do this within the first few months following birth, others wait as long as a year or more.

Home and Family Blessings

Couples who are blending families and bringing children together under one roof as a result of their marriage have a special challenge of making everyone feel accepted and included. Through a home and family blessing ceremony Rev. Washington assists all members of the family feel part of the union. Having a ceremony in the home that includes everyone is a wonderful way to honor the new family that has been created.
