Scriptures Contain True Stories – Book of Mormon show-and-tell
For Ages 2-5 Nursery or Sunbeam (see below*)
OBJECTIVE: Tell children that the Book of Mormon is a book of scripture that tells us about the people who lived in a different part of the world, in ancient America. It is another testament of Jesus Christ besides the Bible. After Jesus died and was resurrected, He appeared to the Nephites who lived in this land. It tells how He blessed the little children and the people and taught them. It tells how much they loved Jesus.
