Establishing prayer as a normal part of a family’s daily routine helps build and support a tradition for passing on faith from one generation to the next. This Prayer as a Family Tradition Milestone Moment provides an opportunity to place an emphasis on prayer. It also supports and serves as a reminder for parents and grandparents of the important role that prayer has as a ritual and a tradition in the home.

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 Prayer 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 wonderful keepsakes to remind us of the importance of prayer as a family tradition.
