The Blended Celebration Option
This style of ceremony is perfect for the family that would like to combine components from both traditional and contemporary celebrations.
The motivation for the ceremony
The motivation is the belief that there is importance in both spiritual/divine and family values. When we embrace the values and teachings of the Bible we cannot help but see that the best values for raising a child are found in the unchanging truth of God.
Our approach for the ceremony
Simple yet meaningful! We combine the best of both the contemporary and the traditional ceremonies, making this the most common choice for parents. This ceremony has a real community feel to it with everyone in your 'village' being involved.
