Life is full of meaningful moments that can be expected or totally unanticipated. Celebrating these milestone moments helps bring an awareness of God’s presence into the home and highlights the rituals of daily life experiences.

This Milestone Moment encourages caring conversations that connect our faith while participating in the tradition of coloring eggs for Easter and having an awareness of its history in the Christian church. Historically, eggs have been associated with new life, rebirth, and springtime. Many ancient cultures used eggs in their religious ceremonies. It was not long before the Christian church took up the tradition of decorating and giving eggs as gifts as part of the springtime festival of Easter to celebrate the resurrection. Having an Easter egg hunt at one’s home or at a community park can be a simple and effective way of celebrating the message of Christ’s resurrection with family, friends, and neighbors. A congregation can also use the Easter egg hunt as an outreach tool for the surrounding community.

This Milestone Moment includes the Four Keys for practicing faith outline which encourages growing in our faith by recognizing the home as church, too. A simple five-step structure is also included to establish a solid base for faith formation.

These pottery Blank stones are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this celebration. They can be marked with permanent marker to personalize this special occasion with a drawing or words.
