When a family gathers for a reunion, it is a wonderful blessing that provides an opportunity to embrace the past, talk about the present, and dream about the future. It is a good time to reflect on past generations and the lives of those who have gone before. This Family Reunion Milestone Moment offers an opportunity for family members to recognize God’s presence in the moment by engaging in caring conversations, reading a scripture verse, praying the Lord’s Prayer, and blessing one another.

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 Family Reunion 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 reminders of the joy and excitement of meeting extended family members at the family reunion.
