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. When a couple marries, a wide community of family and friends celebrates the relationship. It is a communal event. However, the anniversary of this special day when a new family was formed tends to be marked only by the couple themselves. Affirmation and support of the couple in the faith community should be ongoing and consistent. God affirms our need to live in community and families and is part of our story from the beginning. God continues to create and affirm families of a multitude of configurations today and marriage is one way that we partake and celebrate life together as the people of God. The Anniversary of Marriage Milestone is an intentional invitation received from the congregation as you recognize, celebrate and support a couple through their faith journey. 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.
