Starting School
|
Going off to Preschool or Kindergarten or First Grade for the first time is an exciting milestone for children and their families. As children prepare to venture out from home and begin a new routine at school, they'll hear Jesus' promise to be with them always. Together, the family will create a visual reminder of Jesus' great love for children.

Getting Ready to Worship
|
Getting out the door to make it to worship on time can be a trying experience for parents and children. Create a preparation ritual to help your family get ready to worship at your church, whether on Sunday morning, Saturday night, or during the week.

Graduation
|
Sometimes it is not possible for families and friends to physically gather together to celebrate a special occasion. This Graduation Milestone Moment is an online celebration of a graduation. Just because families cannot get together in person does not mean they can not still share the joy of this important life milestone and recognize God’s presence in the moment.
