Ceremonies for LIVING WELL

VISION

Living Well Ministries (LWM) supports people who wish to name with intention a threshold, transition or commitment with a public ritual. Some examples of ceremonies include:

Weddings/Holy Unions
Funerals/Memorial Services
House Blessings
Relationship Transitions

With respect and appreciation, I serve people of all gender identities, sexual orientations and family styles in making such public commitments. Together, we will craft a ceremony of intention unique to your situation and expressed values. “Public” means a gathering of your loved ones, however large or small.

My faith convictions and ordination vows combine in a radically inclusive commitment to support lives of faith, intention and service. In creating a ceremony with you, I represent the One who has called us all into abundant life, the fruits of the Spirit, and life-giving community. If you seek a minister who will support you in expressing not only your love, but your reliance on community and your desire to bless this world through your shared lives, then we may be a good match. And about your spirituality… as a Baptist minister committed to interreligious respect, I find much joy in the creative partnership that emerges when diversity calls!

Preparation: Five 60-minute planning sessions, spanning a minimum of two months before your ceremony, are required.

These sessions will include a combination of 1-1 sessions, relationship sessions, and homework for your private reflection and conversation.

Honorarium: Rate includes planning sessions, liturgy planning, and attendance of rehearsal and ceremony. My services do not include building or musician arrangements or preparation of written programs. (Referrals for musicians and ceremony sites are available.) Payment installments at each session are preferred. Final payment is due one week prior to the ceremony. *
