April 2008





A Letter from the Editor:

Thank you all so much for your faithfulness to Growing in Grace Magazine. We're so excited that spring is finally here! I hope that the snow has begun to melt in your neighborhood and that you can see the buds beginning to bloom as I have seen here in California. In this issue you will see some photos marked with a special emblem, 'Editor's Choice'. These are photos that were submitted to our photo contest and you can begin to submit your photos too if you'd like.

Along with flowers blooming you may begin to open the windows and let the warm breeze in to full your home with the fragrance of the flowers and fresh air, as well as beginning your spring cleaning. Be sure to take a look at the Making the Home articles Miss Jocelyn has been writing all month.

Growing in Grace Magazine has begun to prepare Media Kits for those who would like to help spread the word about our magazine to your church, homeschool co-ops, or local Christian media. If you would like to receive one of our Media Kits, please have your parents contact us and we'll place your name on the list and contact you when we're ready to ship them out.

You can now print out our magazine's pdf format for a donation. Once the month is over the link for download will no longer be available. All donations help further our magazine's ability to provide for our giveaways as well as purchasing many of the beautiful photos through each month. Right click HERE and 'Save Target As'



A very special thanks to Lady Jess for moving this entire April issue over to the pdf format. Lady Jess worked tirelessly to give our readers the option to print their own copy.

We love to hear from our readers and we may publish your comments in next month's issue. So please do write to us!
