I made these sermon notes books for our kids attending “big church” and they loved them. You can get the original free file from here.
As I was cleaning out the quiet bags at church this week I decided to do something different and so I shrunk them down and made mini-books.
I love little things and kids do too! I got the idea when my little 4-year old friend was visiting me. She brought me a scrap sheet of paper and I quickly made it into a little 8-page mini book for her to draw in. She loved it! So that got me to thinking about our quiet bags and sermon notes. So I got busy reformatting the half-sheet books onto one sheet and here’s how the books look now.

The best thing is that they are made from only one sheet of paper.
Here’s my free mini-sermon notes printable.
Want to know how to make an 8 page mini book? Here's a tutorial.
I’ve used this mini-book template for years for so many different things!
There are endless ways to use this in ministry! You could…
- make premade books for sermon notes (like I did)
- make sequence books for Bible stories, using graphics or reduced coloring book pages
- make blank books and let the kids create their own books about anything – My family, Jesus, My week etc.
- make books with only the captions filled in and the child provides the drawings.
- it's a great way to use scrap paper since the writing will be on the inside and won't show!
- use colored paper for seasonal books.
- The ideas are endless!
