Welcome!
Welcome to our new Keepers Corner! We are glad you came to visit! We are really excited to begin this new venture of sharing with the Keepers Community. Keepers was first begun with the goal of encouraging children to learn new things, working with moms and daughters and dads and sons. It has always been about families learning together, building strong bonds. We plan to do a lot of posting about projects, crafts and skills, character traits, and more. We also want to share lots about families and family life because God created families, and families are eternal. And, you know, families coming together build strong churches.
We really want you, our friends, to post here too. We want to hear about what you are working on, your club’s achievements, and any special blessings. Please feel free to send us your information, and we will post it for you. If you have a blog for your club, we will be happy to add it to our list posted in the right hand column. If you have questions, please email us at sales@keepersofthefaith.com. Your ideas and input are always welcome. Enjoy the site and let us know what you think!

Boys Doing Girls’ Things? Girls Doing Boys’ Things? So What’s With That?
We get these questions often. “Can boys do some of the things in the Keepers book? Can girls do some of the things in the Contenders book?” Our answer always is, “Why, of course they can!” Now, if you asked, “Can the boys wear girls’ dresses and the girls play football?” our recommendation would be “No way!”
We firmly believe that …

Joy of Needle Felting
We did needle felting last spring with our girls, and little did we know how much they would like it, and that they would simply take off on their to create more and more needle felt projects. The girls made pin cushions.

Note Cards
Some have written to ask about making these beautiful note cards. They are very easy to make and the girls just loved them. I have several for myself. It is always nice to have something pretty close by and what could be better than having a Bible Scripture always near … Read More

What Do I Teach?

I like to focus my teaching time on practical Christian living, so I like to observe … Read More

What Worked and What Didn’t, Part 1
A Forum Subscriber wrote:
I recently reread, “A Way in the Wilderness,” (a good book Keepers sells) and I love when the grandmother is reflecting on her parenting and she shares a mistake she made and says, “Mothering has such far reaching effects.” As you look back on your parenting what advice would you give young mothers? What are you glad …
