Most people look for weather reports daily. The weather determines how we will dress or consider traffic safety or other transportation as we head to work or school. It determines if sports or other outdoor activities are cancelled. When there are severe weather warnings, we are never quite prepared. This Severe Weather Recovery Milestone Moment provides an opportunity for family and friends to gather and talk about the impact of the weather on their lives. Providing comfort for one another following the severe weather while recognizing God’s presence during this stressful time can be helpful.

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 pottery Valley Low Stone for Gifting are individually hand-crafted and available at a low cost to purchase and gift as an important reminder for individuals to appreciate those who have helped them feel God’s presence, care, and support while they recover from severe weather hardships.
