Faithbooking classes

Question: I want to start a faithbooking class with the ladies of my church. Do you have any ideas or pointers?

Answer: Well, there are a few options you can further explore. First of all, put together a general outline of how you want the event to go. For example, start off with a brief introduction of your intentions for the event, followed by a short devotional. Then go over the faithbooking starter questions to get them thinking of how your guests can start incorporating their faith into their scrapbooks. Now would be a good time to share some of your own layouts. Then encourage some scrappin, fellowshipping and sharing time.

For more ideas, "A Women's Ministry Guide to Scrapbooking" by Sandra Joseph is a great resource. This book even comes with a cd containing bulletin inserts, postcards, ideas and more! The guide is available in the Faithfully Yours store.

Each month we will be exploring a new theme in the Faithfully Yours ezine. Each issue will provide a devotional, faithbooking starter questions, ideas and more that you can use in your faithbooking classes.

Finally, http://www.scrapbookersbubblebath.com/ offers faithbooking devotionals. These devotionals are designed to provide guidance for Christian scrapbooking small group leaders or individual faithbookers. Click the above link for more information.

You can find the above at www.FaithfullyYours.net in the resources section. Check back as more information is added.
