This week we are focusing on Baptism and the covenants we make. Read Mosiah 18:8-10. Handout the Baptism Covenant Bookmarks and review our baptismal covenants.
Next begin the baptism object lesson. Have a discussion about becoming clean when we are baptized. Be sure to include Mosiah 18:17-28 in your conversation.
Let each child make a rainbow headband or a rainbow pin. Talk about how you become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when you are baptized.
Discuss how we are made clean when we are baptized and show the clear water from the object lesson.
Finish by making the interactive craft. As each child makes the craft you could talk about ways to prepare for baptism.
As a bonus activity discuss Mosiah 18:21-22 and discuss what it means to “have their hearts knit together in unity and love.” Complete the knit together in unity activity.

Pharaoh resisted the call of the Lord’s prophet to let the Israelite’s leave Egypt. Signs were given as evidence of the Lord’s willingness to do whatever was necessary to free His people. The consequences of not following the prophet were very real.
We have already read several references to Jesus Christ’s atonement and resurrection in the Old Testament: the Flood that cleansed the world of wickedness, Abraham’s sacrifice of his son, and Joseph saving his family from the famine, just to name a few. These stories help us understand that the world has been readying for the Savior’s mortal ministry thousands of years before He would be born. It all leads to Him.
Moses grew from a helpless Hebrew infant to Egyptian royalty. Yet that wasn’t where God needed him. As a refugee, Moses was called to be the most significant prophet of the Old Testament. Through Moses, the Lord redeemed His people, established His covenant, and reminded the world that God will not forget those who follow Him.
