Theme Set Overview
Live life as the Child of the King instead of as a Poor Little Thing!

SCRIPTURE THEMES

II Corinthians 8:9
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.

Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.

THEME DEVELOPMENT IDEAS

BEGGARS
This is a great fundraising event. Details about how to make that work are provided when you purchase the Template Set.

DECORATIONS
Contrast glittering, elegant, costy GOLD with the starkness of black.

Table Decor: Black (disposable) tablecoverings with beautiful silk flowers in gold vases. Shop thrift stores or yard sales to find a lot of inexpensive vases and paint them metallic gold yourself. Easy directions provided with this set.

GROUP FUN
Engage your group in a fun game featuring the exchange of practically worthless items for valuable items. Details included in the Template Set.

SKIT IDEA
Instead of doing just one skit during the event, or as a promo, do several charades. One idea is to do one each Sunday morning for three weeks before your event with the final rags to riches charade (of Ruth and Boaz) during the main session of your actual event. Other charade ideas include: Joseph (prison to throne), Daniel (slave to lions den to throne), David (shepherd w/harp, to Goliath, to throne). If you're doing your charades as promo skits, be sure to follow each skit with an invitation to the event.

RAGS TO RICHES LUNCHEON
Beside each actual menu item on your buffet table, include a small placard in front of some "poor" alternative. Ideas include: Creamy Wild Rice Soup vs. clear broth; Stuffed Tomatoes vs. celery sticks; Texas Toast vs. crusty bread heels; and Truffles vs. Tootsie Rolls.

TEMPLATE SET

While we are committed to providing you with FREE material, to the best of our ability in Christ, it costs money to operate these websites and to develop these resources. We buy rights to pictures, hire data base and web designers, pay for staff to help handle email and other work related to this ministry. Your partnership, when you purchase a template set, or any of the other published resources for event planners, enables us to continue providing these services.

Our template sets include all the promotional pieces you would typically use to publicize an event, but in a ready-to-go, easy-to-personalize format: Posters, Bulletin Inserts, Tickets, Programs, PowerPoint, Postcards and more. Super easy!

POSTER MAKER:
The poster and PowerPoint template produces top quality prints. The Word.doc opens right onto your computer where you will be able to enter your own event details easily then print them out onto regular white, 8-1/2x11" paper.

BULLETIN INSERTS/PROGRAMS:
This opens into Word as a two-up. Simply enter your text into the available spaces and print.

POSTCARDS:
This is a 4-up page which opens into a .pdf file online. 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.

TICKETS:
12-per page, this template again opens into a .pdf file so it will automatically repopulate the 11 other segments when you type your text into the upper left hand box. 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.
