Gospel Art Picture Packet Available

A gospel arts picture packet has been developed to assist Church members where meetinghouse libraries have not yet been fully implemented and to enhance family gospel discussions and lessons inside the home.

The kit contains 104 color pictures, most of which depict scriptural stories and events. Each picture measures 8 1/2 by 11 inches and includes a simplified story description on the reverse side. Divider tabs are included in the packet, as well as an instruction sheet with an index of picture numbers and appropriate scriptural references.

The complete set of pictures is available from Church distribution centers or can be ordered from the family resource catalog. The packet is available in a blue plastic box with a folding lid (order no. 34730—$12.75) or shrink-wrapped with no container (order no. 34735—$9.50).

“Even though the Spirit is the most important teacher to individuals studying the gospel, gospel learning can be enhanced and teaching can be improved when lessons or study are accompanied by visual aids,” explains Wayne Lynn, of the Church’s Curriculum Planning and Development staff. “This is particularly true when vital scenes and characters from the scriptures are depicted. We encourage each meetinghouse library to make these picture sets available to members within their unit boundaries. Individuals and families are also welcome to purchase the kits.”
