In Romans 10, Paul explains what it means for us to call on the name of the LORD.
Memory Verse: For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 NKJV.
Materials needed to create the Call on the LORD quiet book page:
- A4 felt background sheet - I used turquoise
- my free Romans 10 - Call on the LORD Bible Quiet Book Template Pattern
- black hard felt
- white hard felt
- sewing threads to best match the page
- black curly shoelaces - I bought this (not an affiliate link)
- wadding
- one large decorative button for the dial centre
- 14 smaller decorative buttons for the dial numbers
- 10cm of buttonhole elastic
- 2 small buttons to fit the elastic
- kam snap and tool and piercing rod (or darning needle etc)
- hot glue and glue gun
- scissors!
Firstly, cut out the pattern pieces. Cut out the back of the cradle (the larger cradle piece) from black hard felt and sew it onto your page (use the full phone pattern piece to position it where required).
Cut out two handset pieces and two layers of the slightly smaller wadding. Lay the wadding in between the two handset pieces and sew them together tucking in one end of a curly shoelace at the top left corner of the handset as you go.
Sew the smaller cradle piece to the top of your full phone piece leaving the bottom edge unsewn. Then sew the full phone piece onto your page along the top edge between the two pointy cradle pieces. Leave the two pointy cradle pieces as flaps to be used to house the handset. Sew from the bottom outside edge of one flap to around to the bottom outside edge of the other flap, tucking in the other end of your curly shoelace at the bottom right corner of your phone.
Use the full phone pattern piece to line up where to insert the piercing rod. Use the piercing rod to prepare a hole for your kam snap. Insert one half (male or female) of your kam snap.
Cut out one side of your dial from the white hard felt and sew your large decorative button to the middle. Use the piercing rod to prepare a hole for your kam snap in the middle of a piece of white hard felt which is slightly larger than the dial. Insert the opposite half (male or female) of your kam snap. Add a little hot glue to the smooth back of the kam snap and glue it to the center of the white felt at the back of the button. Sew down the dial and trim off the excess. Sew down your smaller decorative buttons around the edge of the dial as buttons. I followed a North, South, East, West, etc pattern to try to keep the spacing even.
Lastly, sew a small button to the phone base behind the dial south-east of the kam snap, and another to the back of the dial north east of the kam snap. Button each end of the buttonhole elastic to opposite buttons and you are finished! The dial should spring back when you turn and release the dial.
Tahlia says Romans 10:13 and explains how to play with the retro phone quiet book page - call on the name of the LORD and be saved!
Difficulty Level = Easy
The most difficult part is lining the large button up on the dial with the kam snap underneath.

Romans 10Devotional
God doesn't have favourites, and He will save those who call on Him.
Paul asks a series of questions:
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

We have been given the privilege of telling people the Good News. If people understand the Good News, they will have faith to call on the name of the LORD.
That name is Jesus.
