All Loving and Forgiving God,
you have given N new birth,
in baptism by water and the Spirit,
guide, guard, and inspire her/him through the ages,
with the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and inward strength,
the Spirit of knowledge and faithfulness,
that they find life and love in you. Amen

Blessing - for Baby Naming
We cherish N in name and person.
Our hope and dream for N from today,
for all the days of her/his life,
is to enjoy health, strength and wisdom,
be rich in love, peace and pleasure,
and find the guidance and care of family, friend, and community.
Here and now we each pledge to play our part.
