School Supplies for Your Pioneer Friends

The most important preparation that a pioneer can do is to set their phone to "do not disturb" and take time to study and meditate on the material and references in their textbook.

If you know a brother or sister attending pioneer school for the first time, perhaps you are planning on getting a gift for them. Help them prepare with useful tools or get fun keepsakes. Ministry Ideaz has compiled a selection of pioneer school supplies to help.

Note-taking: Writing vs Typing

Typing on laptop

In today's digital age, typing has become an essential skill. Voice dictation tools are built-in with your cell phone. However, can this technology really replace good old-fashioned handwritten notes? What are the benefits of taking notes by hand?

Considerations For Your Next Service Bag

Let Style Meet Functionality

Everyone is unique. We each have our own favorite foods, hobbies, and different styles. This variety makes life interesting and enjoyable! However, when shopping for service clothes or accessories, finding a balance between style and functionality can be a challenge. Maybe you were shopping for boots this winter and found a beautiful pair of brown leather boots, but they have high heels and very little traction on the soles. You love the color, the laces add a nice detail, and the price is right. But, you know the heel is going to be troublesome, especially when it gets icy.

What about your service bag? Finding a functional service bag is important. You want one that can hold your service supplies and suits you.

JW.org Facemasks - Give a Witness Without Saying a Word

IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! IT’S FINALLY HERE! Door-to-door preaching is back, and we cannot be more excited. How have the first few days been for you?.

Prepare your publications, your ministry bag, and don't forget your facemask.

Do you remember when we first started to wear face masks to go anywhere? For many of us, it was a little annoying (and even worse if you have to wear glasses). But, that time passed, and we got used to them. Some people have ended up liking them.

There are a wide variety of colors and designs that we can choose from, and now that door-to-door preaching has been reactivated, we even have more designs.

The Lowly Pencil - Giving it the Credit Its Due!

The lowly pencil doesn’t get the credit it deserves.

Imagine you gave a 6-year-old, a blue ballpoint pen, and notebook at the Kingdom Hall or convention venue. Within a few minutes, they might have more stripes on the back of the seat than a Siberian tiger! (and hopefully not on their face).

Learning to write with pencils and, in particular, old-fashioned wooden pencils (not mechanical pencils) is easier. That's  because of the feedback from the friction with paper... you know... that sweet wooden pencil scrubbing sound... ahh! Furthermore, whereas kids are more likely to damage pens, a wooden pencil is almost non-destructible. In fact..., you can break it in half and make two pencils out of one. So it makes total sense for kids to use pencils.
