Teachers throughout the Church spend much time in assembling maps, charts, pictures, filmstrips and other teaching aids to present gospel messages to their students. Yet, they have an even more voluable means of teaching right at their finger-tips each week and most of them neglect it. this is the sacramental service. Through it, students and members of the Church generally, can learn much of the mission and sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and of their individual responsibility in the Church.
However, like any good means of teaching, there must be prior preparation so that a receptive mind and heart can receive the full value from the lessons taught. this book is an example of how classroom participation and preparation can make the sacramental service more meaningful, and how this ordinance can become a humbling, spiritual experience in the lives of all.
Sunday School teachers, particularly, will find this book valuable in learning how to promote greater reverence during opening exercises through partaking of the sacrament, thus setting a better tone for subsequent classroom activity.
