Life
is full of meaningful moments. Celebrating milestones helps bring an awareness
of God’s presence into the home and highlights the rituals of daily life
experiences.
Moving is never easy! In addition to the chaos of sorting and packing,
moving touches our souls. Regardless of how long we have lived in a
home, who we have shared the home with, or what has provoked the move,
leaving can spark feelings of grief and sadness as well as feelings of
expectation and anticipation. Regardless of whether a new home
is a studio apartment or a mobile home or a custom built house, moving
to a new home is literally and spiritually crossing a new threshold in
life. This milestone provides the opportunity for those who are
moving to share memories of previous homes and communities of faith and
to discuss hopes and dreams for their new home and opportunities for
service in a different community.
This
milestone includes the Four Keys for practicing faith outline which encourages
the connection between home and congregation. A simple five-step structure is
also included to intentionally invite the faith community to recognize the
milestone and celebrate it together to establish a solid base for community
outreach
 New Home Milestone Stone - These pottery New Home stones are individually hand-crafted and
available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this milestone
event.
