I will be adding in some of my old event themes here on the blog. I just added one on Hands if you missed that one. Today I’m adding one on “Classic” things.
I like this theme because I like classic things. Maybe that’s because I’m getting old. I’m not sure. But there sure is something about classic things. Classic things are those things that have a high quality and that last. Those things make me smile.
This one would be fun for a little boy’s (or an older man’s) birthday party. Lot’s of spiritual applications are included for those wanting to use it for women’s ministry events as well.
Classic Theme Concept
—Originally Posted April 08, 2004 as a “The Classic Christian Woman” women’s ministry theme

The event themes on the website can be used for showers, parties, women’s ministry retreats and activities, or church functions. Each theme will have one or several possible spiritual applications.
