This month we're going to explore the topic of WORSHIP using the Monthly Bible Quilt Journal, "Building on a Firm Foundation."
Along the way you may be inspired to use some hymns on your pages, so here's a sample freestyle page to get your ideas flowing:
If you don't have the Monthly BQJ, you can follow along with us using the BQ Calendar, another BQ journal, or whatever personal study materials you have that fit this particular season of your life.
You may access the year's full list of references as a free printable with code FREELIST. They're formatted as bookmarks, so cut out the one on Worship and let's get started!
Add the dates on the July calendar page by handwriting them, stamping, or applying stickers. Then add the daily verses, the next BQ Zoom chat, and whatever devotional goals you may have for the month.
Cut out the colorful "Worship" title from the back of the journal to adhere to the page. Then color and decorate with washi tape or seasonal stickers however you'd like!
Thanks to Fran, a local Bible Quilter in Tulsa, for curating our collection of verses this month.
Writing out the scriptures onto a flip card set helps us become familiar with the verses and the surrounding passages to understand it in context. Once completed, the flip cards make a handy personal reference or a resource to share with a friend who might need extra encouragement from the Word.
If you want to shorten the time spent prepping your flip cards, we've got a digital version of all the verses typed out and formatted. Just print and cut, then slide the cards onto a binder ring!
After you've gotten your scriptures gathered up, you're all set to begin the 2-page spread in the Monthly BQ Journal. It's also available as a printable if you don't have the journal or would like an extra to share with a friend.
It's a lovely process to see these pages fill up with wonderful scripture passages!
I'll post my completed pages in the Comments section below and invite you to do the same!
We also have the featured template of the month, Music Staff with Psalm. We can use verses from our reference list that impact us or create with additional scriptures we've discovered along the way as we've studied this topic.
It's hard to believe it's almost July. Ready to celebrate Independence day with family and friends?
It's a festive time of swimming, picnics, and red-white-and-blue bike parades with balloons and sparklers. The "hope"balloon template is featured for July in the 2023 BQ calendar, so it can be decorated to add to your holiday decor!
Mark your calendars for our next BQ Chat to discuss this month's topic and some Freedom pages!
