Gone Fishing

 Verse:  Matthew 4:19 "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

 Scroll and Ink Bottle/Pen

Inspiration from this came from an old church song that isn't heard much any more:  "When God dips His pen of love in my heart...He writes my soul a message He wants me to know..."

Verses:  (I paraphrased on the board for the "message" from God to my heart...then put the reference) 

(1) - If you come to me, I will never turn you away (see John 6:37); 

(2) You are the apple of my eye!  (see Deuteronomy 32:10)

(3) Nothing can separate you from my love!  (see Romans 8:35-39)

(4)  I've given you "exceeding great and precious promises!"  (see II Peter 1:4)

(5) These promises are written to you...that your joy may be full!  (I John 1:4)

Final line:  "The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell!"

 Harvest

Matthew 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few..."

Christmas Tree

Words on this bulletin board are:  "Celebrate God's Gift to us!"  and the verse -  

James 1:17 "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

Merry Christmas

This one is simple, but dramatic.  The words Merry Christmas were written totally using sheer 2-3" wired ribbon.  The background is black satin type fabric.  I used real silk holly garlands as accents.

Valentine

Background:  red satin.  Heart in center:  Overlay of Valentine hearts printed on clear cellophane.  I used real silk roses to border the heart shape. 

Triple border:  Outer - pink construction paper strips; middle:  semi-sheer red wired ribbon; inner border - "lacy" stretch paper white border.

Verse:  1John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God! 

Concerning Abraham's seed:  Gen. 32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

Concerning the wisdom of Solomon: 1Kings 4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

Concerning God's thoughts toward us:

Psa 139:17-18 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand....

School Theme

The words on the 4 slates and accompanying verse print out beside each are as follows:

"Prepare for tests" - I Peter 1:7 -That the trial [test] of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.

"Do Your Homework!" - II Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

"Need an Eraser?" - Psalm 119:9 -Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

"Honors Assembly - Awards to be given!" - I Corinthians 3:8b - "...and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour."

Treasures

... Verses used were I Peter 1:7 ("trial of your faith - more precious than gold...etc.  see same verse above)

Job 23:10 - "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."

Psalm 119:127 - "Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold."

Winter

I used Isaiah 1:18a -  "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."

and the words of the first verse and chorus of the hymn,  "Whiter than Snow" (chorus:  whiter than snow, yes whiter than snow...now wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow)
