Easter and "The Jesus Story"

For the last 3 Easter seasons, our family has been involved in our church's production of "The Jesus Story" - a play showing the ministry, death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Although the involvement has been primarily on the part of Dave and myself, this year Emily decided to take a part in the ministry too. 

I'm not a forefront person when it comes to these type of productions. I prefer to be in the background. So, my "position" has been in the area of backstage small props. Of course, it only seemed natural to have Emily join us as a part of that crew. Although very willing to help in small props, after the second performance of the play, Emily told me that next year she did not want to be backstage but out on  stage as a part of the crowd. I was in no way disappointed with her desire to go from backstage to on stage but I admit I was surprised.

Other than school programs, where the kids practice during school time, Emily has shown no desire to be a part of any program. Her last "formal" program was a Christmas program at our church, and although she enjoyed being in it, she told me she wouldn't be doing it again because there are just too many practices. I've learned with Emily not to push her. When it comes to sports, programs, activities, we've always been of the thinking to have the kids try it once  and then let them make the decision regarding the next time. So, yes, I was suprised at her declaration of wanting to be "in" the play next year.  And, yes, I did inform her that it would involve practices she would need to attend. 

As the following week of performances occurred, Emily continued to tell me of her plans for next year. Our last two performance were going to be the next Thursday and Good Friday. When I was cleaning up from our perfomance the Sunday prior, Emily came running to me all excited saying she was going to be in the play. Of course, I said "next year" because I've only heard her tell me this now a thousand times. She replied "no, Good Friday". I was like "what?" Well, Emily expressed her desire to a dear friend who knowing Emily saw how much she wanted to be a part of the crowd and was going to see about making it happen this year. What was supposed to be a possible Friday performance turned into Thursday and Friday performances and let me tell you Emily was over the moon. 

Of course, she asked me a million questions about details before that first performance but once she was in that make-up chair she was no longer thinking about me. 

Thankfully she had friends who were already in the play that could guide her throughout the scenes she was invloved in. I can't tell you how much my heart swelled when I caught my first glimpse of her from the sidestage. This is my girl! She is a part of a huge ministry telling the Good News of Jesus. There is nothing like that moment when a parent sees their child serving their Savior. 

Well, Emily loved being a part of the onstage crowd and is making plans for next year and just so you know she is "okay" with all the practices she will have to be a part of. 

It is so amazing to be a part of a ministry for the furthering of the Kingdom of God but it is even more amazing when your children desire to be a part of it too. Matthew did his part selling DVD's of one of this season's early performances. 

Of course, the biggest "thank you" goes to Emily's Aunt Debbie (my sister friend) who saw the desire and excitement of a young lady and did what she could to make her desire a reality! 

Our little girl has come so far and nothing makes it more special than seeing her want to walk the path that God has for her. 

This Easter season has meant so much with the growing of our kid's in their faith. Our prayer is that God will continue to touch their hearts and move them in the direction He desires for them.

Scalloped Hearts on Sunday

As most of you know, I teach the 4 and 5 year old Sunday School class at my church. 

This past Sunday's lesson was about Jesus loving the children and what an appropriate lesson with Valentine's day being this Friday. 

Although the lesson material does provide a coordinating weekly "craft" project, I've been trying to do a special craft with them once a month, especially around the holidays. This month's craft was all about the LOVE!!!

The craft itself, scalloped hearts, I found from my main arts & crafts source Pinterest through the website Alana Jones-Mann. 

I purchased from Michaels heavy card stock precut hearts. Then, used my Cricut cutter to cut 1 inch circles from red, purple and pink card stock purchased from JoAnn's. Now, I love JoAnn's for many things but I have to say I prefer Michael's Bazzill card stock. I have found that it cuts much cleaner on my Cricut machine than JoAnn's line of card stock. Just saying! 

We used glue sticks to adhere the colored circles to the heart shape. It is best to apply the glue to the back of the circle as you need to overlap the hearts. When we started the project, we attempted to do a pattern of purple, pink and red. A few of the kids were able to stay with the patterning but most of them did their "own thing" which was perfectly fine. The circles go off the sides of the heart, so at the end of the project scissors are use to cut the excess off defining the true heart shape. 

On the back side, I wrote for each of the kids (mainly for time purposes) who their heart was for and their message to them. Some were for mom & dad, brothers and sisters, even pets.

Here are a few of the kids with their hearts:

Daniela - age 4 

Violet  - age 4 

Anthony - age 5

Because our lesson was about Jesus' love,  I gave the kids a "love" project for Valentine's day. I told them to go to every person in their family give them a big hug and say, "I love you and Jesus loves you too" and that I would check to see who remembered to hug their family next Sunday. The funniest thing was one of the kids said she was going to do it right after church because she will forget to do it on Valentine's day. Love these kids!

Snow Ball Fight!!!!!

Well not really a snowball fight. It is more like a snowball piling.

Today I was able to go into the elementary classes at my children's school and collect a snow fall estimate from each student for the winter bulletin board mentioned in my previous post One Week - Two Boards. Each student was able to guess how many inches of snow will fall cumulatively from tomorrow (January 25th) until February 28th. 

There were some very interesting guesses the most outrageous being 1,000,000 inches. Would never want to live where snow fell in that amount. Yes, the student was allowed to submit a second, more reasonable guess.

I took all of the snowballs and "piled" them according to class starting with the Kindergarten class right next to the snowman leading to the 6th grade at the far end of the board after the yard stick. There were a few students missing so a snowball has been left for them to complete upon their return to class next week.

The kids seemed excited to participate in this poll and make reasonable guesses especially when the mention of a "reward" was made for the correct guess/guesses or the one/ones closest to the true snow fall amount. 

I've never been more excited to monitor snow fall! When the poll is completed, I will post about the winner/winners.

Get Out Your Checkbook

Last week was a very busy week for me making a new bulletin board at my church. Normally, I would post a "sneak peek" picture on Facebook to spark interest but not this time. Because of the content, I had to be "mum" about it and let me tell you that was hard.

The majority of the boards I do at my church do not coordinate with a specific sermon series or themed event. Of course, God always uses them in the capacity He chooses to effect those who see them. 

The week before last, I was suppose to get working on putting up a new board for the main hallway. I knew the board I wanted to create (it was an idea off a graphic I saw) but was lagging in getting started. Little did I know that God was keeping me from starting on something that was not a part of His timing. I received a call from my friend Debbie, who works at the church and is my co-creator in the making of these boards, and she told me of a financial challenge that was going to be put out to the congregation.  She felt that a coordinating bulletin board regarding the challenge would be a great idea. In the middle of our conversation, I knew why God was having me lag on getting the other board started.....He had a better plan. We met later that week and formulated the idea for the board.

Okay, so the financial challenge that has been set before the church congregation is to pay down the church mortgage of $80,000 and build up capital by tithing an extra $20 a week per family for the next 6 months. 

Immediately when I heard this idea, a big personal check came to mind. We brainstormed from that idea and came up with the concept of a board that looked like a person's bill paying session and a check written for the $20.

Here is a picture of the completed board.

So, let me give you a run down of the board and all the elements that were made. 

The first element made, which is my favorite, is the checkbook. 

The outer part of the checkbook is a black display board that would be used for science projects, etc. I cut this to fit the standard size piece of white foam board being used for the check "stack". On top of the white foam board, I place the check which was created freehand on a sheet of 2 sided blue poster board. The one side looks exactly like a check and the other is the royal blue color used at the top of the check where the perforation would be. The check is being written/coming from "Your Faithful Steward Sojourner on Earth Heaven Bound" and is made out to "God's House". On the top of the checkbook flap, a "post-it" has been place with the verse Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." As I said before, the check is my favorite element of this board.  

The next element is the note pad ledger. I used a piece of left over foam board from another project. What I like about this piece of board is that the surface is paper and not glossy like most foam board giving it that true paper look. It also makes it a lot easier to erase pencil marks from.  Also, to make it truly look like a note pad, I put two lines of black artist tape at the top mimicking the binding/perforation part of the pad and wrote "mead" in silver sharpie. Of course, I put the purpose of our challenge at the top of the "note pad" and then made a ledge sheet portion for the date paid, amount paid and balance. This will allow the congregation to see the progress that is being made on the challenge. I did not do all 24 lines for the 6 months of updates because the board would be too busy.....so when we do run out of lines I plan on putting a piece of paper/card stock over the ledger portion with a ripped top so it looks as if a portion of the page has been ripped exposing another page to continue the ledgering. 

Now when it comes to note pads and notes, I'm a doodler so we only felt it was appropriate to include a little doodling on this note pad. As Debbie and I were talking about this, it came to mind that most of my doodlings tend to be bulletin board driven. Jokingly I told her that I should doodle a picture of the bulletin board I had intended to put up. Well, I did exactly that and let me tell you that board doodle is so appropriate to the theme of this current board. It is a picture of a moving box and on the outside of the box is Philippians 4:19 "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." God will supply that $20 extra dollars a week or the "need" that has to be met via that $20 we give to Him. 

I know I have post it notes strewn all over my "home central" area where family paperwork is done so it seemed appropriate to include some on the board. These are just pieces of 8 1/2 x 11 paper cut into 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 squares with written messages on them. 

Now you can't write a check if you don't have a pen, so using a left over piece of the paper style foam board I cut a replica of our church's ballpoint pen. Using a Copic marker in red and a silver sharpie, I colored the pen appropriately.

The only item cut with the Cricut was the title "Paying Down Building Up" which we done in the appropriate "accounting" colors of red and black. They were shadowed in ivory so they wouldn't blend into the brown background. 

This board is a longer term board than normal so I may add one or two other small elements as the months go by..... we'll see.

I really enjoyed making this board and am looking forward to seeing the progress that is made in meeting the challenge of paying down the mortgage and building up capital. May God bless those abundantly who give cheerfully for the purpose of further His Kingdom. 

As always, thanks for stopping by!

An Divine Idea

The ideas I get for bulletin boards come in multiple forms. It could be a picture, a graphic, a verse or song that triggers an image, etc. No matter how they come I know that it is God who gives me the idea and the ability to make it come into existence on the board.

It was March 10, 2013 Sunday morning service. Our pastor was doing a series "Journey to the Cross". I remember growing up there being an evangelistic tract with a picture that had man on one side, God on the other and the cross as the bridge between. Of course, through the years, I've seen variations of this theme. That morning in church on my sermon notes, I sketched this idea for a possible upcoming board. 

Toward the end of summer I knew a new board would need to go up soon, so I took out this sketch along with a few other ideas. I decided (well, God chose) to make this sketch "come to life". So, I asked one of the elders from our church if he could give me some verses I could use on the board regarding man's condition, Jesus' payment and God's feelings toward man. He returned his copy of my little sketch with quite a selection of verses. 

This is the result of that idea and little sketch.

Now, for a brief detour of thought. I always like to give details regarding the materials used for the boards in case someone has the desire to recreate them. For this board, I used pieces of left over black, white and red bulletin board paper. On the red portion, I layered red cellophane that would be used for wrapping gift baskets. 

The title words, man and God, along with the verses were cut using my Cricut cutter.

The cross is an element I used on two other bulletin boards at the church. It was crafted by a gentleman at the church using balsa wood that was stained. On the cross, I layered pieces of parchment paper and wrote portions of the verse from John 14:6 "I AM the way the truth the life" in bronze metallic sharpie. I aged the edges of the parchment using a brown stamp pad and dauber. 

Now to get back on track. When showing the condition of man and how we need to come through Jesus to have access to God, many familiar verses come to mind John 14:6; John 3:16, etc. What I appreciated was that the elder, who gave me the verse options, gave me verses I had never even thought of in this context. 

The verse used for man is Ephesians 2:1 "And you were dead in trespasses and sins". The verse used for God, when I read it,  I knew it was meant for this board. It is I John 3:1 "See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God..." Why I felt strongly about using this verse is how the "see what kind of love" refers back to the cross and the bridge Jesus' death has made for sinful man to a pure and holy God allowing us to be His children. Although a simple board in in elements, it's message speaks in volumes.

Now I know that all of these ideas and the execution of these boards are a gift that God has bestowed upon me in order to bring Him glory. I don't need verbal affirmation that this was the right board at the right time. But let me tell you, God knows when to speak to me in order to affirm that He is working in me and through me. This "idea" came to mind when our former pastor, who only just retired at the end of September, was still our Shepherd. The board was completed and up last Sunday and do you know that our new pastor's message related to every part of this board. As God spoke through him, God spoke to my heart, not only of this amazing gift of love, Christ's death, that allows me to be His child but also that I am using the talents He has given me for His glory. I pray that I will continue bring Him glory through this ministry.

Saying "Goodbye"

Saying "goodbye" is never easy. We have been attending our church, Bible Baptist Church, for 5 years. Sadly, at the end of this month, our beloved Pastor is retiring. Our family has been blessed by his preaching for 5 of the 25 years he has been leading this church. He is an amazing man of God who passionately brings the Word every time he is behind the pulpit. Personally, I can say that I have grown spiritually stronger under his shepherding.

Pastor Bill also has a special place in my heart because he has been a strong supporter of me using the abilities God has bestowed upon me to create bulletin boards at the church. He has such a creative side and is always so appreciative of the work that is done. 

With his leaving, it only seemed appropriate to create a bulletin board in tribute to Pastor Bill's service to God's call of preaching the Gospel. This was a hard board to do because I wanted it to show how truly thankful everyone is for his service. After brainstorming with my creative side kick, Debbie, the decision was to go the route of listing the names/titles of what a man called to bring forth God's Word is called in the Bible. Then, also list the character attributes they should possess.

To make it even more of a personal thank you, I asked, Debbie, who has been under Pastor Bill's shepherding for many years & has also been working with him in the church office, to write a "thank you" note that we placed in the center of the board. 

This has been such a bittersweet board. Bitter because it means Pastor Bill will be leaving soon and I will truly miss him. Sweet because I can pay tribute to the amazing ministry he has had. Also, it is my thank you to him for always supporting my effort to minister through bulletin boards.

Thank you Pastor Bill, you will be greatly missed!!

The Flowers have Bloomed

Today I put up phase 3 of the "growing" bulletin board at our church. I was going to change the board last week but here in the northeast we had hot, humid rainy days that turned into cold rainy days. Not the kind of weather that makes you think of flowers growing and thriving. 

I have to say this third phase is my favorite of this board. Yes, the flowers are artificial. The morning glories, sunflowers and gladiolus were purchased from a local floral distributor which insured having quality pieces. The pansies were purchased at Michaels. I also purchased the monarch butterflies from the floral distributor.  

I wanted to make sure that the board stayed consistent through all its phases so my goal when placing the flowers was to have it appear they were springing from the seeds and bulbs. The flowers were attached with hot glue and floral wire that was secured into the foam board and bulletin board with thumbtacks (which have been well hidden). 

The most difficult part of phase three was changing out the original blue background with this sunny yellow one. I did have to remove the watering can, shovel, gloves, grass, picket fences and trellis. Once that was done, I removed the paper keeping the "dirt" in place. I was able to cut the yellow background piece so that I could tuck a small portion behind the "dirt" and staple it back in place securing the yellow paper. 

Because of the height of the flowers, I chose not to place the verse on the yellow background.  Instead, I chose to make a "plate" that I attached to the watering can. The verse chosen for this phase of the board is I Corinthians 3:7 "So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth." 

In order to show the progress of this board, here are pictures of the first two phases.

Phase 1: the planting phase

Phase 2: the rain phase - the trellis was also added in this phase

 Phase 3: flowers blooming & butterflies flying

Into Every Garden a Little Rain Will Fall

In the beginning of March, I put up a Garden "Growing" themed bulletin board at my church.  

This is a 3 phase board. Sadly, I got a little behind on executing the second phase. Thankfully, this week I got back into work mode and produced the additional elements need for Phase 2 - a trellis and raindrops. Today I was able to go to the church and add these new elements. I also added a "budding" stem emerging from one of the gladiolus bulbs.  

In making the rain drops, I followed the same instructions I referred to when I made the snowflakes for the winter themed bulletin board. I didn't use a template, just free handed the shape of a tear drop. 

Instead of coating the raindrops in mod podge and sprinkling them with glitter like I did the snowflakes, I painted them with a clear glitter paint. Wow, did that save a ton of time!! The glitter gave it that additional dimension needed to help the raindrops stand out on the board.

Standing back I was very pleased with how the board looked.  

The rain drops add a layer of dimension that would not be able to be created with paper. Also, the trellis which I cut from a piece of foam board added height to the other end of the bulletin board. In two weeks, I will be adding flowers: gladiolus, sunflowers, pansies (had to switch out the marigolds) and morning glories climbing the trellis. Also, there will be a change that will surprise you. Something  you may or may not notice. 

I look forward to showing you Phase 3 in 2 weeks. 

The Jesus Story

This is my first post since Thursday and that has to do with the fact that this weekend started our church's production of The Jesus Story. 

Friday, I was busy getting the last few items needed for the spring bulletin board at church. The rest of the day was spent with the kids and getting ready for the weekend.

Saturday started early with an 8 a.m. practice which lasted until noon. A lunch break and coffee run were enjoyed before returning to the college theater for the 3 pm preparations to be done for the 4 p.m. first performance. It was a real blessing but the day was long and tiring. Dave had the kids for the day and they came to the evening performance. After dinner out, we headed home and after a short period of time I called it a night in anticipation of the next day's events.

Sunday was just as busy with Sunday school, church, taking Matt to a farm league baseball practice that got canceled (we didn't know), making & eating lunch then I headed back to the theater at 3 for the evening's performance at 4. Dave and the kids came for the performance but Dave had money counting duties for the love offering that was collected, so I gathered the kids after the play and headed home.  Once again, I was very blessed and very tired.  

If you are local to the northern NJ area, I want to extend an invitation to you to come and see this production of "The Jesus Story". There are performances this Friday, Saturday and Sunday and then next Thursday and Friday.

Spring Garden "Grow" Bulletin Board

Last week, I worked on the "fishers of men" bulletin board and this week a spring themed board for my church. Monday I created the first two elements - a watering can and shovel. Both are made of foam board.  I saved some time by purchasing a silver covered board. To enhance the watering can, I added copper accents and sponge painted metallic paint to give the pail a galvanized look. For the shovel, I made use of the remnants from the silver foam board to make the bottom and top handle. I used a piece of left over balsa wood to make the shaft of the shovel.  

Another major element for this board was creating the look of soil for the garden. I repurposed a painters tarp I had used last summer for a beach themed board. I repainted it with a darker stone spray paint making it a deeper "soil" color. In the midst of putting these elements together, I realized there was the a need of something more for the garden theme I had in mind. Picket fences were the first thing that popped in my head. Most gardens have some kind decorative border around them so small pickets seemed an appropriate application. The pickets were cut from white foam board.   

This morning I took down the previous board and put this board in its place. 

I tried to make it so that the soil looked like it was dug to accept flower seeds and bulbs. I also put up the verse which was cut by my Cricut from the Lyrical Letters cartridge out of a metallic navy blue card stock. The verse is "But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  2 Peter 3:18". My goal with the verse was to make it look like it is a visual of wind flowing in the air above the garden. I used a roll of moss to imitate a grassy area (an area not disturbed for planting) where the gardening elements created were placed. Of course, who would garden without gloves and not mark the flowers that have been planted.

I think what really adds to this board is that I took morning glory, sunflower and marigold seeds along with halved gladiolus bulbs and adhered them to the "soil". 

This board is a three month transitional board. This is the first "look". Next month, rain drops and a trellis at the far left will be added. The final month, the flowers will have bloomed and the sun will be shining..... you'll have to come back to see how that is accomplished. 

Fishers of Men Bulletin Board

This week I have been working on a new bulletin board for our church.  

Starting March 16th, our church will be presenting "The Jesus Story" at a local college. The production is a labor of love for our pastor. This year it has changed with the focus being on Jesus and his disciples. Several of scenes in the production take place on a boat in the sea, so a boat for the bulletin board seemed appropriate. 

The original plan was to make a side view of a boat but because the board is in a high traffic area, it seemed it would inevitably get bumped and damaged. So, plan B was devised - a top view of the boat.  

The base of the boat was made from foam board. A foam board edging was adhered with hot glue and pins for extra stability.

Next, I stained 12 planks of "wafer" thin balsa wood a maple color. I adhered the planks to the to the base and outer sides of the boat using Super 77 adhesive. For the edge and seat planks, I used a thicker balsa to prevent chipping if rubbed up against. These pieces I stained maple but then did a paint wash of black over it so that they would have a more weathered look. 

As the planks settled, some of them lifted a little which gave it a very nice effect once again giving it a more weathered look. 

A theme verse for the production this year is "Jesus said, 'Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.'" Using my Cricut cutter, I cut the verse from a pearl toned card stock. The cartridges I used were Plantin Schoolbook and Cursive 101. 

Today was the day to put up the board in its entirely.

First, I stapled a light blue paper to the board.  Then, I layered a blue cellophane wrapping paper over the light blue paper to mimic the look of water and waves. The fishing net was purchased via Amazon and stapled into place behind the boat. Finally, I added the parchment paper that has the information regarding the place, performance dates and times for "The Jesus Story".

After the production is over, the board will stay up for another month. The parchment will be taken down and in its place will go pictures from the play.

I have to say that the original "vision" in my head is very close to what was produced today. God is good!!

The Gift of His Son

Today I went and put up the new bulletin board outside my church's sanctuary.

This is not your "typical" Christmas season/winter themed board which comes as no surprise as I've come to learn that I am not a typical bulletin board creator.

With this year having been an election year and our church doing a "Pray for America" campaign during the election season, I thought it would be appropriate to continue focusing on America and that God is ultimately in control of all things.

Many people are concerned with the condition of America and I felt it was important to bring it back to the One who created us and has everything in His hands.

I made the White House from foam board and used paper/card stock for the elements of the flag. Originally I was going to just put on a title of "Pray for America" and include a verse of how we are to submit to those in authority. Then this past week my son's Bible memory verse for school was Isaiah 9:6: 

For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulders and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor

the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Prince of peace.

Although I wanted to use the whole verse, I felt it was best to just focus on the portion:

...unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulders....

I'm so pleased with the outcome and what I love is that this board makes you think and consider what the message is. For each person, it may mean something different but to me it means that God graciously and mercifully sent His Son and I have a comfort and peace in knowing that in all circumstances God is in control.

My "White House"

I'm working on another bulletin board for my church. 

This particular board is outside the sanctuary and will be up for the months of December, January & February - I do the two bulletin boards there on a 3 month rotation basis.

Because I've already done a winter themed board in another part of the church, this one needs to be different. Usually I coordinate with the pastor on his upcoming sermon theme and create a corresponding board but with his approval I went with a different approach this time.  

Seeing it was an election year and the inauguration is coming up, I felt a board focusing on how God is in control of all things including those in authority over us would be a good theme.

Today I started the main element for the board - The White House. Once again, I'm using my favorite "material" foam board.  I made two layers in order to give it more dimension.  

First, I sketched out the top and pillar portion.

This is what it looked like when I cut away the excess board.

Next, I layered the pillar portion on to an additional piece of foam board and sketched the top portion and windows which I cut out next.

Here is the final product.  

It is hard to see in the picture but there are a few additional pieces that add a little more dimension.  I'm planning on laying the black piece underneath and making the window panes in each window.

This is of course only step one for this board.  You'll have to stay tuned and see the final result, which I am hoping to have up in place by Wednesday of this week.

I Feel Blessed....

Blessings come in so many different "packages".  I feel blessed to have a wonderful husband and two great kids..... things aren't always easy but I choose to look at the things God has provided and praise Him! Things may not always be what I "desire" but what He desires and in the end I want His desires to be mine!   

God has blessed me with a creative talent and just recently He has shown me how to use it for His glory both in the home and out of the home. I have been abundantly busy this past week and am  "booked" for the weeks to come.  I love that God has taken my love for crafting and made it a blessing to others. 

Here are the projects I worked on last week and today during my new work hours of 10 - 2:

These are title placards and "icons" I created for a friend's school classroom.
