This Preparing for Worship Milestone Moment seeks to help worshipers consciously prepare for public worship, whether it be in-person or virtual. It reminds us all that faith is established and formed through God’s living word in a community of personal, trusted relationships that enriches our lives with faith, hope, and love for all people and all of God’s creation.

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 Welcome to Worship 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 a wonderful reminder to help us each time to intentionally prepare for public worship.
