6 Steps To A Successful Baptism
1. Decide if you want to have a religious or a non-secular ceremony.
2. Choose a location: A home, church or even a garden
3. Call the church you have chosen. Make these connections well before birth or in the later stages of adoption. Inquire about the guidelines and register your child as well as yourself.
4. Choose the childs godparents. Godparents should be faithful individuals who are ready to embrace the responsibility of being a part of that child’s life. Pick one man and one woman who you think will be the best role models. Consider relatives and close friends who have a blood relationship with the child and have kept their faith over the years.
5. Meet the priest, minister or clergy who will be conducting the ceremony to prepare for the baptism. Discuss what will happen. You will likely have to attend a class.
6. Plan a simple party to take place immediately following the baptism or naming. Click here for some gift ideas.
