Girl Scout Cadette, Emma P. has created an Inspirational Bible Box outside of Bell United Methodist Church in Leicester N.C. She is creating crafts/activities every month to share to the public for free. Each month has a different Bible lesson, each story is inspiring, and will have a craft/activity and a coloring page or two for kids and adults to enjoy. Everybody likes a good craft!
An Inspirational Bible Box is a little bit like a Free Little Library mixed with a Blessing Box, mixed with Vacation Bible School and Sunday School. The box itself is a self-serve free-standing box that is located in a part of our community where lots of people visit. Inside you will find Free Inspirational Bible Based arts and crafts activities for the community to enjoy.
Life is stressful and everyone needs a little more joy in their lives. It is a proven scientific fact that completing hands-on activities and craft/art activities lower blood pressure and stress levels. Plus, it's fun to color, create, and make something.
If you want to make an Inspirational Bible Box for your community all you need to do is find a central location that lots of people visit, talk to the property owner and get their permission to install the box, build or get a water-tight box, collect some basic crafting materials, collect/make Inspirational/Positive Arts and Crafts Activities to stock the box. Check frequently to make sure there are still items in the box for the community members to use. For our specific box we choose a theme word for the month, a matching Bible verse to go with it and a Bible based craft or activity that goes along with the theme word.
