Weddings, Christenings, Memorial Services, Home Blessings and more… all are among the ways we can support you in your desire to recognize and celebrate the spiritual dimensions of the passages in your life and the lives of your loved ones. For more information, please contact us.
Weddings
We can help make one of the most important days of your life even more meaningful. You need not be a member of Unity to have the wedding of your dreams. We will officiate at your service at your location of choice, whether that’s in our sanctuary, an elegant outdoor garden, on the beach, or at your home.
Christenings
Christening is an ancient ritual that predates even the earliest Christian traditions. The rite and the interpretation of its meaning have undergone many changes over time, and today christening is practiced in many different ways. The purpose of Christening is to recognize the spiritual identity and purpose of a soul. In Unity, we look to the example of Jesus as our guide. In Mark 10: 13-16 we read that Jesus took children in his arms and blessed them.
Christening in Unity is the act of welcoming a child into our world and recognizing this soul by name in its human journey. It is a time for parents to dedicate themselves to raising their child in an awareness of God’s loving presence.
Godparents
You may choose as many people as you wish, or have no Godparents. There is no legal obligation or responsibility made through a Christening service.
Baptisms
For children age 7 and above and adults, we provide a baptism service.
Memorial Services
At the time of the passing of a loved one, many people want a service and don’t know where to turn. We are here to support people in times of grief and loss. We can provide services at the location of your choice. Our services are positive, uplifting celebrations of the life lived. We honor each person’s spiritual traditions.
Home Blessings
A private home blessing ceremony acknowledges and honors your home as sacred space, a sanctuary of love, peace and joy. Many people request a home blessing as they settle into a new home or apartment, but a home blessing ceremony is appropriate at any time, whether you have just moved in or have lived in your home for many years.
General Event Info
We are open to hosting small to medium-sized events. We assess hosting fees on a case-by-case basis. We do not offer catering but we do have a spacious kitchen and seating area and a fully functional A/V system with a projector. We are having an assistive listening device called a hearing loop installed soon, which will allow folks with hearing aids or cochlear implants to tune directly into the audio equipment for a better listening experience. We offer free wi-fi on campus.
