I CAN BE BAPTIZED IN WATER LIKE JESUS: water wheel (Ages 1-5)

.

WHAT IS THE FIRST COVENANT I TAKE?

YOUTH CAN TEACH with this water wheel how we can get baptized in the water like Jesus (baptism by immersion). Tell children that Jesus was baptized to show obedience to Heavenly Father. He set an example for us. Our baptismal promise shows we want to follow Jesus and keep God’s commandments.

ACTIVITY:

After we are baptized, we can receive a special priesthood blessing to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to guide us to make righteous choices (like Jesus).

BAPTISM puts us on the covenant path that leads us back to heaven. We can stay on this covenant path as we obey God’s commandments.
