Blessing of Children
Following the example of Jesus, parents bring their little children
to the elders of the church for a prayer of blessing. In this
sacrament, the elders lay hands on the child and ask for God’s presence
and guidance for both the child and parents. This sacrament is
usually celebrated in a regular worship service and is available to
all regardless of membership.
Sacraments are special ministries given to the church to convey the grace of Jesus Christ to not just his followers but to all God's children whom Christ yearns to touch with his compassion. Through the sacraments, God sanctifies common elements of creation to bless human life and to renew and form the church to seek the peaceful kingdom of God. Community of Christ celebrates eight sacraments in the church: Blessing of children, Baptism, Confirmation, Communion, Marriage, Ordination, Laying on of hands for the sick and Evangelist Blessing.
