Learning about Baptism

Song: The Helping Song
Prayer: Dylan

Scripture: Arthur Alma 15:12 - this is an example of someone (Zeezrom) being baptized in the scriptures. There are many other times when the scriptures have mentioned people getting baptized, too.

Lesson: Kerri and Tyler
Learning about Baptism
I used various parts from the August 2008 Friend

We are going to learn a little about baptism tonight.
Can anyone think of someone very special and important that got baptized? (Jesus Christ)

Show a picture of Jesus getting baptized.

Jesus got baptized to show us how important it is for all of us to be baptized.

How old do you have to be to get baptized? (8 years old or older)
Where do you get baptized? (in the water)
What color do you wear when you are baptized? (white)
Who in our family could baptize you? (Dad)

Tyler used the pictures from the activity "When I am Eight Years Old" (Friend, Aug 2008 pg. 33)
to tell us what order things happen when he will be baptized.

1. He will turn 8 years old and will have a birthday party
2. He will talk to the bishop about baptism.
3. He will get baptized.
4. He will receive the Holy Ghost.
