Pearls of

Great Worth

This Development Set makes planning easy and the
Template Set makes publicity a breeze.

SCRIPTURE THEMES

Pearls of Great Worth
Matthew 13:45-46
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

Pearls in the Making
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

THEME DEVELOPMENT

PEARL PARABLE RAP
Co Kerry, Ireland used to host an Annual Ballylongford International Oyster Festival. As part of the event they offered €1,000 (1000 Euro) for the winner of a poetry/rap contest. As an ice breaker, divide your women into teams of six and have each table create a poem or rap about "pearls". A sample rap is included to get you rolling.

TWO CRAFT INSTRUCTION SHEETS
This theme set includes instruction pages for two fun crafts ideal for groups.

REFRESHMENT IDEAS
Cover oyster-colored plastic tableclothes with assortied color fishnet sprinkled with crafter's "pearls," available from any local beading shop. Visit a local party supply store to purchase clam shell-shaped serving dishes. These start as low as $9.95 and may be filled with Seafood Salad, other fun ocean-themed foods or even peas with pearl onions. A favorite of ours is Seafood Quiche. Be sure to set out a bowl of oyster crackers. (The theme set includes recipes and links to online sources for the afore mentioned products.)

TABLE DECORATIONS & FAVORS
Guest tables may be covered with the same tablecloth/ fishnet/pearl combination as on the serving table, or you may take the entire affair formal by using oyster-colored tablecloths topped with strands of pearls (borrowed from church ladies) woven into ivy garlands with white candles in crystal candlesticks as the centerpieces.

THE PROMO TEMPLATE SET

POSTER MAKER
This interactive Word.doc opens directly onto your computer screen, where you will be able to enter your unique event information. If you have a photo of your guest speaker, great! If not, fine--use the area for additional text. And if your text is too long, just reduce the font size. The poster template produces a top quality, camera-ready poster. If you save the original to your computer, and then save revisions as you go, it's easy! (Click below to view the poster quality.)



BULLETIN INSERTS/HALF SIZE POSTERS:
This also opens into Microsoft Word as a two-up. The "sample" text is printed into the sections. Simply replace any areas that you'd like to change with your own text, copy it into the right hand side, and print.

POSTCARDS
This is a 4-up page which opens into a .pdf file online. It cannot be saved, and does not offer the flexibility of a Word.doc, but it automatically repopulates all four sections when you type your text into the upper left segment. Once laid out, you simply print onto card stock, cut and mail. [All other templates print onto regular white 8-1/2x11" paper.] The back side of the card is blank for your address information.

TICKETS
20-per page, this template opens into a .pdf file which is ready-to-copy. When you type your text into the center opening, it automatically repopulates the remaining 19 tickets. So easy!

THANK YOU NOTES
This prints onto white 8-1/2x11" paper, which you fold into traditional card size. The front features the theme photo and "Thank You". There is room inside for a handwritten note.
