Letter Writing Materials


Recommended Posts

What is okay to use for letter writing? 

 

I've used notebook paper in the past.   I don't have access to printable materials.  (low income and ink is too expensive for my printer)   

Is it okay to use blank notecards?    

I've also used gel pens and drew designs on paper as well as the envelopes.  Usually matching.  

 

Know that Jehovah is God. He is the one who made us, and we belong to him.

Psalm 100:3

Hi Lori,

 

I personally do not see any issues with note cards, as

long as they are legible and we keep them neat  upon

inserting into envelopes.  There are times I have used

5 x 7 paper as well. 

 

I like that idea, as for me it would be good for the ministry

when someone either is too busy and you to leave a little something

along with our placement(s)

 

Plus a little drawing on it!  Hey! Thanks sis:D

Cards are used by some of our youngsters, and they have paradise type pictures on one side or in the corners. One of our youngsters with mental health issues, is very good with his art, and with his words. It would also be important to make sure that whatever a person sees when they receive your message, that it is becoming and appropriate.

I am not yet wise, but I am on the long road that gets me there - Prov 9:10

Some of us, out of infirmity are not able to participate in door to door. Sharing my recent writing project for the ministry:

Letter-Writing Idea: Focusing on Good Qualities People Value This Season

Many people this time of year are reflecting on things like family, kindness, peace, and gratitude. While we don’t share in the holidays themselves, we can still acknowledge and commend these fine qualities — because they reflect traits that Jehovah himself values.
 

So here’s a project idea for letter writing this month: Create five distinct letters filled with sincere appreciation for the good qualities people highlight during this season — without endorsing the holiday. Each letter focuses on a different virtue that Jehovah treasures and ends with a warm, natural offer for a free interactive Bible course.


1. Cherished Family Time
 Focus: appreciation for family unity and time spent together.
 Connection: Jehovah designed families to be a source of love and support.
 Key scripture: Psalm 133:1 — “Look! How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity.”
 

2. Thoughtful Giving
 Focus: generosity and kindness toward others.
 Connection: Jehovah loves a cheerful giver and values motives over material value.
 Key scripture: Acts 20:35 — “There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.”
 

3. True Peace and Reconciliation
 Focus: desire for peace and harmony, even when differences exist.
 Connection: Jehovah is the God of peace and helps us to be peacemakers.
 Key scripture: Matthew 5:9 — “Happy are the peacemakers, since they will be called sons of God.”
 

4. Gratitude and Reflection
 Focus: thankfulness and appreciation for life, creation, and others.
 Connection: Jehovah wants us to cultivate gratitude every day.
 Key scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “Give thanks for everything.”
 

5. Caring for Friends and Neighbors
 Focus: showing love through time, attention, and compassion.
 Connection: Jehovah’s people are known for genuine love.
 Key scripture: John 13:34-35 — “By this all will know that you are my disciples—if you have love among yourselves.”


Each letter would end with a brief, natural invitation — something like:

“Many are finding joy and meaning in learning how Jehovah helps families strengthen these very qualities. I’d be happy to share a free interactive Bible course that shows how.”

These themes allow us to commend what’s good, highlight Jehovah’s qualities, and gently direct sincere people toward His Word — all without touching the holiday itself.

I use regular notebooks and coloured pens.

 

When writing by hand I like to write the main body in 1 colour and the scripture in another to highlight it better
