Setting apart a special location in the home and blessing the area as a home altar serves as a reminder to honor God’s presence in our lives. It is a space where faith talk, prayer, and worship can take place. This Blessing the Home Altar Milestone Moment is a special time to set aside and acknowledge God’s presence through caring conversations, a scripture reading, prayer, and a blessing for the home altar space.

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 Faith Chest Stone for Gifting pottery stones are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this Milestone Moment. They are appropriate to use with blessing a home altar and a wonderful keepsake to remember this special occasion.
