It is helpful and can be supportive for family and friends to gather to discuss, reinforce, and celebrate the giving of a Bible to someone. This Gifting a Bible Milestone Moment supports this significant event and provides an opportunity to talk about the importance of getting one’s own Bible. The gift of a Bible can be a sign of love and faith at many different stages and ages in our lives and help shape our life’s faith journey.

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.

The Bible pottery stones are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as a meaningful reminder of the Milestone Moment. They are wonderful keepsakes to remind the person receiving the Bible of the importance of continuing to use it as a book of faith.
