Dressed To Kill

the Enemy

Spiritual Armor for Women

The development ideas make planning easy
and the Template Set
makes publicity a breeze.

KEY SCRIPTURE PASSAGE
Ephesians 6:10-17

UNDERSTANDING
SPIRITUAL WARFARE
The purchased theme development material includes two documents for use by planners, speakers and workshop leaders: 1) "Spiritual Warfare: A Believer's Perspective of Satan's Position" and 2) "The Pieces of Spiritual Armor", both were compiled by Marnie Swedberg.

VISUALIZING THE THEME
Staff and Greeters should wear borrowed camouflage fatigues and could use walkie-talkies. Plastic helmets are available from party stores.

Contact your area Army Recruiting office for decorations. Find your closest recruiting office HERE. Explain the nature of your event and ask if they could provide you with anything from posters to display weaponry to a real tank or Humvee to park outside your church. Better yet, if you have military personnel attending your church, ask them! Depending on rank, they could provide more than a recruiting office.

If you are short on decorations, party stores carry a full line of camo goods including plastic tablecloths, which may double as banners, dividers, tents and more. Check out the camo theme-builders available from Oriental Trading or Pinatas.com.

TASTING THE THEME
Create a "Mess Hall". Tables coverings could be camo colored tablecloths or a solid color (white, green or black) with borrowed military gear centerpieces from guns to helmets to toy army trucks.

Serve Camouflage Punch (recipe included with the theme set) and a "Submarine" sandwich buffet including chips served from helmet-bowls and Camouflage Cake for dessert.

Or, serve MRE's (Meals Ready To Eat) in brown lunch bags splotch-spray painted with green and black to appear camouflaged. Individually wrap the sub sandwiches, include an small bag of chips, a bottle of "Propel", and a "Skor" bar.

THEME RELATED GAMES
The theme set includes games which could be used as Ice Breakers and in the Mess Hall.

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 speaker, fine -- if not, fine. If your text is long, reduce the font, otherwise, go with the preprogrammed font. 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!

BULLETIN INSERTS/HALF SIZE POSTERS
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
16-per page, this template again opens into a .pdf file which is ready-to-edit and print. When the file opens, type your event title into the blank, top section. In the area below the title, type in your event date and time. Each time you click "enter", the program will automatically repopulate the remaining 15 tickets.

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.
