Faithbooking Ministry in Planning Stage

I have been pondering this idea for it seems like years but since The Angel Company went under and left me hanging, God has really put it on my heart to work on this project and get it going. I have done several scrapbook pages that relate to a sermon, a Christian speaker or something like that but now I am working on seeing how challenging it would be to do a scrapbook page layout each week based on the sermon at church. I decided to go for the challenge since we had a new sermon series starting. I did one scrapbook page on the final sermon in the last series about Elijah and the whole concept of if your faith is wavering or if you are committed. The new series is on the book of Matthew and begun with a sermon about John the Baptist and how he paved the way for Jesus. Because of the on-line scrapbooking program called Studio J from the new company I am now a consultant for Close to My Heart, I have been able to easily get these pages done. On the way home from church is the perfect time to think about how what I just heard from the sermon applies to my life. Jesus used analagies quite often to help us understand concepts and so I am following Jesus' example and looking for analogies within my own life that speak about the concept from the sermon. It is so working out awesome! If you open your heart and starting thinking of the photos over the last year and things you have done in your life, it really is easy to come up with something that symbolizes that concept for the week. I will continue to work on this weekly sermon scrapbooking project and am jotting down ideas on what to do with the faithbooking ministry. I have considered doing it on Meetup.com since it can make a good communication tool but it has a cost to it so I am thinking more along the lines of creating a new blog for this ministry and creating an email distribution list to keep anyone that wants to participate in this ministry in the loop on what is going on. I just got an email from Faithfully Yours which is another well established faithbooking ministry that is looking for affilates so I will look into that. I would love any thoughts anyone has on this idea to help people connect the Word with their life through scrapbooking and help Christians connect with each other through scrapbooking.
