Take Notes at the Assemblies!

Take note: assembly supplies are here!

Do you have notebooks filled from cover to cover with notes, only to have them sit on a shelf never to be opened again? Let's break the habit! True, taking notes may help you pay close attention to the program. However, to make the best use of our notes, remember to take time after the program to review those key points you eagerly jotted down.

📝 Likely, each of us has our preferred method of note-taking — different tips and styles. Here are a few of our favorites:
  • Rather than write every word, make brief notes of key points that you want to remember.
  • Use arrows → or stars ✭ to mark a favorite point or something you want to apply.
  • Review your notes soon, while the program is still fresh in mind. (It's never pleasant, months down the road, to find a misprint when you can't remember what it was supposed to be.)
Of course, there are many many more note-taking tips, but we want to hear some of your favorites. Let us know in the comments!

With the assemblies fast approaching many will want to stock up on their note-taking supplies. Here at Ministry Ideaz we strive to help make this a simple task. Our 2-in-1 notebooks allow you to prepare for both the "Love Builds Up" and "Love Jehovah With All Your Heart" assemblies at the same time. Each notebook features talk titles pre-written for convenience. That way all you need to do is jot-down the speaker's name and get right into the talk.
"I have purchased these not only for the Circuit Assembly’s, But the Regional’s as well. They are so convenient and never have to worry about where are my notes 📝" - Charleen
Let's not forget the kids! Designed with little ones in mind, the Kid's Assembly Activity Book is sure to please parents and children alike. This notebooks feature simple activities to keep them active, yet not distracted.
"Of course kids love these and the little activities too. Such a good focus strategy and good training. Thank you." - Christine
So, whatever your note-taking needs, prepare now. Then all you will need to worry about is what to pack for lunch. 🍎

Happy note-taking!

Product Spotlight: Just for the Kids

Meeting and Ministry Supplies Just for the Kids

Can you hear it? The "crunch, crunch, creek" of snow under your child's feet as they search under the snow for the perfect rocks. They carefully place the smooth stones on the newly made snowman and turn to you and ask for a carrot nose. Perhaps when you think of snow, you think "brrr, cold. Where's my snow shovel?" But for many children, the first snowfall brings shivers of excitement, not memories of chilly weather. 

Kids love to have fun and love it, even more, when mom or dad take the time to play with them - even if that means braving the ice cold. In the same way that a little fun makes snow more enjoyable, things like chores, studying and other activities can also become more enjoyable and exciting when kids feel involved and are having fun. However, sometimes finding supplies that are kid-size is a little difficult. 

Bags and Cases

At Ministry Ideaz we recognize the challenge of finding suitable supplies for kids and offer a variety of kid-friendly items. A full-size briefcase is probably not going to work for a toddler. Instead look for smaller bags that will be easy to carry for little ones.

Toddler Size CaseFor Boys

Consider either the "Charlie" Bag - a simple design just the right size for children - or this adorable toddler briefcase (shown on to right). This toddler's case is designed to be a child-size version of a standard soft-sided briefcase. Not only can your child have something just-their-size (at only 1 lb), but can also be just like daddy with a bag that matches his. If your child is older, check out the larger version, the "Caleb Case", designed for children aged 5-13.
Matching bags for the kids


For Girls

Enter bright fun colors! For little ones, try the Little Girl's Ministry Tote. This simple bag reflects the design of the boy's "Charlie" bag, but with fun colors like pink, lime green, turquoise, and lil
Sophia Bag for kids and moms
Sophia Bag
ac
. Also available is the imaginative 'Lil Anna Bag. This bag brings to mind an almost cartoon style - also available in a variety of colors.

For the older girls and moms alike, the Sophia bag may be just right. This ministry bag is a bit big for toddlers, but it perfect for the "big kids" who can carry a little more. With enough room for all your meeting supplies, this bag is great for all ages and moms like it too. Get your favorite color for your own unique style.

More Supplies

Now that your child has their own bag, they get to pack it with their meeting supplies. What is your child's favorite publication? Do they have a notebook and a pen? If they are prepared, they are more likely to feel involved and able to participate.

If you are looking for add-on items for your order, consider specialty items for the kids - meeting notebooks, or fun pens and pencils. Even these items are designed to appeal to their imaginative young minds.
