Description
This
individually hand-crafted Rituals and
Traditions Stone is made of durable glazed pottery which can last a
lifetime. At about 1.5 inches, it is sized to fit in a pocket, blessing bowl,
or a faith chest. Purchase one or more to gift to others as a useful tool in promoting
routine patterns of action which reinforce the meaning, values, and
relationships that exist between us and God.
This
stone is one of six gifting stones that represent the fundamental faith
practices that articulate a foundational spirituality that shapes the lives of
Christians. Through these practices faith becomes life-long and lived out from
generation to generation. Developing and claiming Christian rituals and
traditions that help guide, encourage, and sustain meaningful relationships
nurture a faith formation environment that reinforces one’s cultural history,
beliefs, values, hopes, and dreams. Some examples of Christian rituals and
traditions include: prayers, blessings, and lighting candles.
This
rituals and traditions stone is included in the Faith Formation Blessing Bowl Set. The stone can be used
independently or alongside other Milestone Ministry resources to reinforce the
faith practices that are included within each. These stones are individually
made, hand-painted, and glazed by Liturgical artist Dawn Deines-Christensen.
This
Rituals and Traditions Stone for
gifting is a wonderful keepsake for reminding us to use this essential faith
practice throughout the year.
