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.

Learning is a lifelong journey. While we tend to think of our years in school as the only time in life when we need to gain an education, we know through Doctrine and Covenants 88 that the Lord instructs His faithful to create places of learning in their own homes (D&C 88:119). How do we do that?
Sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we had planned: dinner gets burnt, the car won’t start, or you unexpectedly get laid off from your job. You’ve been promised blessings for keeping the commandments. It might be tempting to wonder where those blessings are when ill fortune strikes.
What is “godliness?” Doctrine and Covenants Section 84 uses the word to describe the way that God prepares us to return to live with Him one day. We do this by inviting our children to be baptized and prepare for the temple. Through participating in priesthood ordinances, we increase our access to the priesthood and experience “the power of godliness” as we come to see God’s presence in our lives every day (Doctrine and Covenants 84:20).
