Certainly! Here’s a liturgy that celebrates baptism for five-year-olds without including the actual ceremony of baptism:

Opening: Minister: Welcome, friends and families, to this special celebration of baptism. Today, we gather to honor and celebrate the journey of these young ones as they grow in faith and understanding. Let us begin with a moment of prayer.

Prayer: Minister: Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of life and for the opportunity to gather here today. We ask for your presence among us as we celebrate the faith of these young children. May this time be filled with joy, love, and a deep sense of belonging. In your holy name, we pray. Amen.

Reading: Reader: Our reading today is taken from the Gospel of Mark, chapter 10, verses 13-16. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

Reflection: Minister: Today, we reflect on the significance of baptism and what it means for these young ones. Baptism is a symbol of God’s love and acceptance, a sign of belonging to the family of faith. It is a reminder that we are all children of God, loved and cherished.

Song: Congregation: Sing a joyful song together, such as “Jesus Loves Me” or “This Little Light of Mine.”

Blessing of the Children: Minister: At this time, we invite the parents and guardians of these young children to come forward with their child. As a community, let us extend our hands in blessing.

Congregation: (Extending hands) We bless these children and pray that they may grow in wisdom, faith, and love. May they always know the embrace of God’s grace and the support of this community. Amen.

Prayer of Dedication: Minister: Let us now offer a prayer of dedication for these children.

Congregation: (Together) Loving God, we dedicate these children to you. We pray that you guide them, protect them, and fill their lives with your love. May they always seek your presence and grow in faith, hope, and love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Closing: Minister: As we conclude this celebration, let us remember that baptism is not just a one-time event but a lifelong journey of faith. May we continue to support and nurture these children as they grow in their understanding of God’s love. Go forth in peace, knowing that you are loved and cherished. Amen.

Note: This liturgy is a general outline and can be adapted to fit the specific traditions and practices of your faith community.
