Bible Journaling- in the Neighborhood

We gathered for some 

Bible Journaling yesterday.

 Open Studio Day.

 I had done a page with the

 lectionary reading for this past Sunday.

 Revelations 21.

Some chose to make the same page. 

Materials were  all out in the "Findings" room

 to duplicate the same design.

That is simple to do.

Word into the Week.

One of the young attendees did a weaving page

 that she had seen at an earlier gathering.

 Some shared pages from the Inspire Bible.

This page is simply watercolor 

over the preprinted verses.

 And colored pencils.

And a Golden  Sharpie Marker 

for the tree on this page.

 A wonderful choice for time

 in His Word for busy mommas 

and caregivers.

At a previous gathering at 

Prince of Peace Lutheran Church-

they learned a simple technique 

taught by artist Erika Radke.

White crayon resist and watercolors.

Trees with white crayon resist and

watercolors.

So on this day we gathered

 with a drop-in schedule from 1 pm to 9 pm.

Simple supper served about 6 pm.

Calm upstairs.

And wild in the basement.

As neighbors and friends and 

new friends gathered.

With a 3 year old,

a 2 month old,

a 6 month old,

 and a 9 month old.

A bit of encouragement along the way,

and marking the journey.

His people learning the walk together.
