Lesson: Mom

Baptism

Show pictures of Baptism (GAK 208 and GAK 601)

When we are 8 years old, we can be baptized into Heavenly Father's church. Baptism cleans us from all of our sins so that we can live with Heavenly Father again.

Do you want to live with Heavenly Father?

If we do bad things and are unclean, we cannot live with him. So, we need to be baptized to make sure we are good boys and girls.

Dirt Lesson - have everyone put their hands into dirt and then have them put their hands in clean water to represent the cleansing that takes place when we are baptized.
