This individually hand-crafted Rituals and Traditions Stone is made of durable glazed pottery which can last a lifetime. At about 1.5 inches, it is sized to fit in a pocket, blessing bowl, or a faith chest. Purchase one or more to gift to others as a useful tool in promoting routine patterns of action which reinforce the meaning, values, and relationships that exist between us and God.

This stone is one of six gifting stones that represent the fundamental faith practices that articulate a foundational spirituality that shapes the lives of Christians. Through these practices faith becomes life-long and lived out from generation to generation. Developing and claiming Christian rituals and traditions that help guide, encourage, and sustain meaningful relationships nurture a faith formation environment that reinforces one’s cultural history, beliefs, values, hopes, and dreams. Some examples of Christian rituals and traditions include: prayers, blessings, and lighting candles.

This rituals and traditions stone is included in the Faith Formation Blessing Bowl Set. The stone can be used independently or alongside other Milestone Ministry resources to reinforce the faith practices that are included within each. These stones are individually made, hand-painted, and glazed by Liturgical artist Dawn Deines-Christensen.

This Rituals and Traditions Stone for gifting is a wonderful keepsake for reminding us to use this essential faith practice throughout the year.
