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.
Adults need occasions to be reminded of and
supported in their lifelong faith formation. These 12 Adult Milestone Modules
do just that. From getting that first job or becoming a parent to becoming a
grandparent or caring for elderly parents, milestones in life are made all the
more significant as these meaningful, memorable moments are made part of the
journey of faith through Milestones Ministry.
There are 12 Adult Milestones Ministry modules
included in this full-color Manual consisting of 156 pages: Aging Parent,
Grandparents, Retirement, Return from Military Deployment, New Job, New Home,
Anniversary of Marriage, Empty Nest, Affirming Spiritual Gifts, Faith
Community, Becoming a Parent, and Loss of a Loved One. Each module has a
consistent outline for easy planning and reinforcing faith practices that
include the Four Keys: Caring Conversations, Devotions, Service, and Rituals
and Traditions. Each module also has follow up event ideas to reinforce the
Milestone event and an additional appendix customized with ideas for community
outreach.
This printed combination edition of the manual comes in a 1-inch white
notebook on heavy semi-glossy paper and includes index tabs, a user guide,
front cover, back cover, and spine in addition to the 12 individual Adult
Milestone Modules. It also contains inside the front cover, a complete copy of
the manual on a compact disk inside a clear plastic sleeve which allows for
easy reproduction.
