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.This milestone is intended for
single adults or couples who no longer have children living with them as a way
of acknowledging feelings they may have and to recognize this as an important
time in their lives.
Our goal is to help participants
recognize this stage in their lives as “life changing†and to honor this
transition in the lives of both parent and child. The empty-nest stage of
life may surprise some parents as life is focused on the needs, activities, and
achievements of the child as he/she graduates, chooses a college, prepares for
marriage or military service, etc. Some parents may not be prepared for the
sense of emptiness and quietness that now surrounds them, especially as the
last child leaves home.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.
 Empty Nest Milestone - These pottery Empty Nest stones are individually hand-crafted and
available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this milestone
event.
