In the year 2000, when we all had to stay at home, I launched a Faith at Home mini-mag. It continued for three years, giving families loads of creative ways (always with stickers) to explore Bible stories and themes.
This month, I’ve got a mega-sale of 2000 mini-mags, each at only £1 – not because they’re only worth that, but because they’re worth far more – but only in the hands of children and families.
You can see them all here.
Each mini-mag:
- keeps it simple by focusing on exploring one Bible verse or story – there’s usually links to listen to the story or read it online
- gives you a lovely postcard of a verse to display in your home – an easy way to keep remembering what you’ve explored together
- offers a variety of 6+ fun ways to explore the Bible text and pray meaning there’s something for all the different people in your family
- includes Something Extra for older children and adults – so we can all learn and explore together
- has a link to download free extras including a short Family Devotional on the topic in case you want more
- comes with STICKERS to use in one of the activities, making it easy to draw in your reluctant ones
- include inserts, a variety of postcards, templates, posters etc to enable you to do the activities. It means you can focus on the activities rather than trying to get all the things you need. You’ll need to add pens and scissors and a few other basics, but all the essentials come with the mini-mag.
There’s three series of Faith at Home Mini-mags:
