*update: I do know about the spiral bound book that the church has out- but I prefer the GAK because you can take the pictures out and also use the story on the back. To me it's worth the extra money to have the box with the pictures in it. But the book is a great idea, too!

We call is Scripture Story Sunday- and we love it!

Every Sunday evening, in place of our regular scripture reading/study time, we gather together and I tell the kids a scripture story. I go to my trusty GAK (gospel art kit) and pick out a picture and then I tell the kids that scripture story. Right now we are doing stories from the Old Testament. Tonight it was the story of Abraham and Isaac and oh my- the boys were all ears. They asked lots of questions and were hanging on every word. Last week we covered the David and Goliath story- and what story could be more interesting for a 5 and 6 year old boy??
Anyway- the point of this post was to give a shout out to my GAK. I love it! I use it at least once a week, for Family Night, scripture study, Primary stuff or just when I am telling the kids a story. At my last stake primary board meeting, our stake primary president told us that these kits are being discontinued. So I hurried home and ordered mine from the Distribution Center. Here is the link if you are interested. They are $30 and worth every penny. They come in a nice, sturdy box and are all organized by numbers, with a table of contents. I just thought I'd share that tidbit with you. I know the church libraries are stocked with them, but after hearing that they won't be making them for long, I thought I'd pass the word along. The kids love the pictures and I love being able to share quick, entertaining and fun scripture stories with them.
