Birthdays are a time to celebrate the life of someone who is special to you. Each year brings a time to reflect on the past and look to the future with hopes for the year to come. This Birthday Milestone Moment provides an opportunity to gather with family and friends to recognize God’s presence in this moment.

This Milestone Moment consists of two pages that are reproducible in your local setting. It can be sent in emails or printed.
· Page 1 describes the significance of the moment and the importance of observing it.
· Page 2 provides a conversation guide* that includes talking and listening to one another, reading a verse/s from the Bible, and a prayer and blessing. It includes a food for thought question on how one might show love for one’s neighbor through an act of service.

All Milestone Moment Conversation Guides are designed and based on the *Four Key Faith Formation Practices of Caring Conversations, Devotions, Rituals and Traditions, and Service. These practices encourage us to grow in our faith through personal, trusted relationships.

These Birthday Stones for gifting are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this Milestone Moment. They are wonderful keepsakes to honor and celebrate this special day for the birthday person.
