“I love the personal touch Faith and Funnies brings to you. There may be a time that you will find that Marla has experienced the same path in her relationship with God that I’m currently going through. Along with some knowledge, there is a touch of funny to make you smile. If I could have one every day, I would love it!”
–Joyce E., nursing home resident
“Faith and Funnies meets a lot of our needs. I read a short devotional every morning. There are usually word searches or crosswords on the tables. The devotional you included is a great length for our group. The discussion and suggested activities are all very appropriate for a group like ours. Simple and sweet!”
–Kellie Duggin

A note from the creator: I know many activity professionals are working with very limited budgets, and I also know how common it is to share helpful resources with colleagues. That’s one reason I’ve intentionally kept Faith and Funnies affordable. Each issue takes a great deal of time and care to create, and your subscription helps make it possible for me to continue producing new resources for residents and staff. I simply ask that you use your subscription within your own facility and encourage friends and colleagues at other facilities to subscribe, too.
