This New Year Celebration Milestone Moment can be used to celebrate the New Year with family, friends, and neighbors. Traditions vary from country to country, state to state, and family to family. Recognizing God’s presence as we gather to celebrate the New Year with family and friends may be the beginning of a new tradition for some.

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 blank pottery stones are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as meaningful reminders of this Milestone Moment. They can be marked with permanent marker to personalize with a drawing or words related to the New Year.
