Sermon Notes: My new process for Sunday notes
Hey friends! I’m excited to share a peek into my latest guided journal—a revamped sermon notes book that’s totally changing the game for my sermon notes. If you’ve ever felt boxed in by a tiny notebook during a long sermon, this might be just what you need!
What’s New?
I know lots of you love my smaller Sermon Notes journals, but I needed to mix it up, so I changed a few things! Here’s some of the highlights:
- More Room to Write:
I switched to a larger 8.5 x 11-inch format. No more cramming thoughts into a tiny space—there’s plenty of room for all my insights and doodles, as well as space to add more after the service when I’m reviewing my notes. - A Fresh, Organized Layout:
The new design features clear sections for the date, topic, scripture references, and notes. It keeps everything neat and makes it super easy to look back on past sermons. - Creative Touches:
I’ve added a few fun elements like varsity-style lettering and decorative sparkles to the cover. Plus, there are blank pages for all those creative doodles and personal reflections that just can’t be forced into a box.
Why I’m Loving This New Version:
With my ADHD, I’m always trying to find a way to straddle the line of “routine” that my brain needs, as well as “new and exciting”– so this new format is a fresh way to capture the parts of the message that matter during services. I’m finding that with more space and a new layout, I’m not just jotting down words; I’m really engaging with the sermon. Since I’m not trying to figure out where to put the extra line or reference, I’m more engaged with the words, rather than a race to keep up with the speaker or pastor.
What about you? Do you struggle with limited space during sermons? I’d love to hear how you capture your thoughts—share your tips and tricks in the comments below or tag me on social media (@allie_scraps) with your own note-taking hacks.
