HOW TO USE THE JOURNAL
These pages are designed to make taking notes in church easy and fun. Each page is split into sections, providing format, yet room for creativity.
KEY POINTS — Write down the main points the speaker highlights, or the main ideas you get out of the message!
SCRIPTURE — Record verse references or write out an entire verse.
REFLECTION — A couple of questions to answer after listening to the message. These help apply what was covered to your own life, think of ways to be praying, and listen to God's voice.
PAGE 1 (LEFT) — This page is meant to be filled out while listening to the sermon. Feel free to use fun pens or draw to decorate the page!
PAGE 2 (RIGHT) — Continue taking notes in the empty space, or use this as a reflection page! Topics to journal about: a prayer to apply the message, share what's on your heart, or invite God into the following week; Bible verses to look back on from the message's scripture references or your own Bible reading; a list of things that you are thankful for; questions from the sermon to research or ask someone about (plus answers if you find them!).
