I am always looking for people's stories of Christian rites-of-passages. Here's an example of a recent men's ministry manhood ceremony. Attached is the actual image of the certificate.
We recently completed The Great Adventure (DVD series from Men's Fraternity). We wanted to offer an no-cost/low-cost keepsake for the men.
Consequently we printed Caleb's Prayer onto a parchment certificate with a large image of a vertical sword penetrating an open Bible. It was quite nice and very suitable for framing.
At the very end of lesson 20, Robert says "...let us pray." At that moment we had predesignated individuals pass out theses certificates, each was rolled and tied with a ribbon (like a diploma). We also had the words to the prayer on two final slides. We all then stood and recited Caleb's Prayer as our closing. Our men really enjoyed this material and closing.
