Studs can be decorated using any media, as long as the stud itself is not cut or altered. Paint, markers and ink are recommended. In order to ensure the blessing will be visible at the Stud Finder Reception, decorate one side, and leave at least 6-12 inches blank on either end. Completed studs must be returned to one of the participating churches or the Family Promise office for pick up on May 17, 2014.
