  Color Scheme
  
• Golds and browns, something warm and inviting.
  
  General Decorations
  
• Make an inviting and warm atmosphere.
• Use some kitchen or food related things as accents such as a soup tureen, large serving bowls filled with fruit. Some old kitchen utensils might be fun such as graters, large spoons and utensils in a crock (old red handled items would work well).
• Use a large basket of potatoes, fake food such as grape clusters, etc.
• Place bibles strategically here and there along with your items or make scrolls to resemble the Scriptures.
  
  For The Tables
  
• Use gingham tablecloths of any color for a home touch.
• Decorate with fruit or vegetable arrangements.
• Place individual verses in small frames.
  
  Focal Point
  
• Tablescape - Make a table top display of fruits, vegetables, or any type of food products. Place a large Bible as the focal point. You could have a place setting (plate, silverware, napkin, and glass with the Bible placed on top of the plate.

  Favors
  
• Scripture Bookmarks
• Bible Food (This idea was sent in from one of the CLM visitors) Cover mini cereal boxes with black construction paper and write "Bible" on the front to look like a Bible. (You could also use small boxes of raisins). Use white paper, making vertical lines along the side to look like pages and write Bible on the other edge with a couple gold lines to make it look like the binding. Attach the theme verse (Jer. 15:16)
• Favor Index.
  
  Just For Fun
  
• Make a Recipe Book - Collect recipes from your ladies and have a recipe book prepared for them to take home.
• Cooking Demo - Have a cooking demonstration of how to make a particular dish.
