I just got a new calling, and I'm trying to do a better job on it than I did on my last two callings. (Three, if you count Young Women's Camp back in '01, where there was a whole lot of unChristlike behavior, most of which I committed personally. Let's just say that I don't do well with "rough" camping, since if I have to go without sleeping or bathing for more than two days, I become a very nasty person.)
So, now I get to design the programs for weekly church services. The programs are photocopied, so I need some images that will look good in black and white, preferably line drawings or engravings. Most people that have done this job just use color images, but I don't think that looks very good once it's photocopied. Does anyone know of some good images that I could use?
I'm LDS, so anything from the Bible, Book of Mormon, etc. would be good, just so long as it will look nice and clear as a black and white photocopy.

All the sites with images I know of that might work are copyrighted images; i.e., images that have not been freely released to the public. I'll go looking for others, though.

I often download images from the church website. They have the complete Gospel art kit. When I print them I use b/w mode. You have to fiddle a bit - sometimes "draft" is better than "best" and sometimes the dot count is... thingy. Experiment with your master before you make up the final.
MS photo editor has some effects, but I've never wound up using any of them.
Also, I try to make an attributive note on artwork I use. It may not actually be covering me legally, but I think it's nice if someone knows where to find more of something. If it's not the whole image, I can say "Detail of Jesus at the pool of Bethesda by Bloch" or whatever.

LDS Clip Art is only $7.99 to download 456 images.

Edited to add: "Many of the drawings are in color, but all are suitable for either black and white or color printers."

These aren't LDS specific but I found this site from a google search. I don't know if it will help or not.

I think all the images from LDS Church sources (magazines, etc.) are free for church or personal use. About.com has copyright notices for the stuff they have - whether it comes from the Church or private sources.
