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.

Miracles are a must-have in parenting. From remembering to take a few breaths when we discover marker all over the couch, to pleading for the health of our little ones when they’re sick, we need miracles every day. The stories of Elisha the Prophet remind us that the Lord is aware of the parent and their child at all times.
By the time the Israelites had their third king, the nation split into two groups: the 10 tribes in the north, forming the Kingdom of Israel, and the remaining two tribes in the south, forming the Kingdom of Judah. The Lord called a mighty prophet, Elijah, to remind His people of their true King: Jehovah (Jesus Christ). Elijah testified to the people that their idol worship was taking them farther away from God.
Going from tabernacle to temple was a big deal for the Israelites. So big, in fact, that even those building the temple had to be worthy of the task. David’s sin in his lust for Bathsheba disqualified him to build the Lord’s house, resulting in his son Solomon completing it. For building the temple with a pure heart, the Lord promised Solomon that so long as he kept the commandments, “I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people” (1 Kings 6:13).
