i've recently been thinking about how i can help teach the boys to be more reverent at church. i've also been thinking about how i can teach them more about the gospel in a simple way. i remember my mom had Jesus books for us to look at during sacrament meeting and i thought that would be a great place to start! i mostly used pictures from the gospel art book (we have multiple copies so i didn't feel bad pulling out some of those pictures) and some pictures my parents picked up for me at the distribution center (like a year and a half ago, i know, i'm a slow worker.) i haven't done any scrapbook stuff in years, but that made this project even easier to complete because i wanted to keep the pages simple, so you focus on the pictures and not the "project." so, here's the pages for our Jesus book:
cover
born in a manger
young boy
teaching in the temple
baptism
calling the apostles and sermon on the mount
ordaining the twelve
calming the seas
walking on water with peter
healing jarius' daughter
teaching the children
healing the lepers
raising lazarus
last supper
gethsemane
on the cross
resurrection
second coming
Jesus and the children
I hope you enjoyed my pillowcase backdrop and amateur photos! I made all the pages 8.5 x 11 so i could use page protectors and a simple lightweight three ring binder. i'm so happy to finish this book, it's been on my mind for such a long time! i'm excited to bring this for the boys tomorrow and to use it in FHE as a little teaching aide. i hope this helps the boys become more familiar with the stories and life of the Savior! making this book was really uplifting, i wanted to have scripture references on each page so i was able to do a lot of reading about the Savior's life and study the different accounts of his ministry, miracles, death and resurrection. i'd love to see your Jesus book if you've made one for your kids!
