Baby Blessings

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby! There is perhaps no ceremony more joyous than the welcoming of a new child into the world! A Baby Blessing ceremony is an opportunity for family and dear friends join you in welcoming your new arrival, bestowing their blessings and good wishes for your newly-expanded family, and affirming their love and support.

Rev. Jeri works with you to create a ceremony that speaks of your joy, shares your hopes and dreams for this new family member, and asks for the support and wise counsel of your community.


Funerals / Memorials / Celebrations of Life

In the cycle of life, some milestones are more difficult than others. When a loved one dies, there are many decisions that must be made. One of the most tender concerns is “Who will present the memorial service, and what should be said?”

For those who are not affiliated with a church, or who would prefer to have a more non-denominational service, Rev. Jeri Murphy would be a good choice as officiant. A former hospice chaplain, Rev. Jeri provides a calm and compassionate support to families.

Over the past several years she has been called upon, by friends as well as by local funeral homes, to conduct the “celebration of life” or memorial service for loved ones. Services are personalized to meet the needs of the family, offering comfort and support during this time of grief.
