The pictures weren't exactly "art" but meant to be memorable.<br /><br />In our church, the pastor or youth/family person sits with the kids on the steps in the front. Unless a congregant is in the first three rows, we can't see anything that is happening. That is too, too bad. When we have choir, we have a great view.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1086978161944568008.post-88840730127025321242010-08-30T10:49:23.312-05:002010-08-30T10:49:23.312-05:00I think you mean the Bethel series.

I think that is one of the secret reasons for the success of the children's message is that it is frequently more visual than auditory. I'm not sure that the 'kids' always get the message, but the teenagers and adults do.<br /><br />there may be another blog post in the making.Diane M.

Some of the stories stick in my mind because of the art work. [You may remember that this was the rational behind the pictures presented in that classic Bible lesson series from the 70's, which name I can't remember.] <br /><br />For the most part, my kids had Sunday School lessons with cartoonish drawings for the illustrations. Not memorable.<br /><br />I'm a visually orientated person and the pictures help me remember stories. I can remember a sermon point better if the preacher paints a word picture in making the point. Occasionally, all the preacher needs to do is use some gestures while describing something and it sticks better. And occasionally, the pastor will use an actual prop to make a point. Works for me.<br /><br />I don't know what percentage of people are visual learners vs auditory learners, but certainly our culture is visual, given how many TV's are in our homes.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.com
