We have a daughter soon to be baptised so I'm revisiting my Preparing for Baptism series:
***
Opening Song: When I am Baptised #103
Opening Prayer: Child
Lesson:
What is baptism?
How great will it be to have all our sins washed away?!
Do you think it will be possible to be perfect forever, never making a mistake after our baptism? (how many years?!)
Whilst it is important for us to always try our best to be good, we might not be able to be perfect for 80 years.
What has been provided for us so that we may still remain perfect in the years after our baptism?
{repentance}
What do we do every week to remind us of our baptismal covenants? {sacrament}
If we have spent time before sacrament meeting repenting of our sins, we can leave sacrament meeting feeling clean and pure.
You could also use an personal example of the first mistake you made after baptism.
{basically after a wonderful baptism the family and friends go out for icecream. The main character who was baptised dropped their icecream and used a bad word. Immediately she felt bad and that she hadn't even been baptised ONE day and she had already made a mistake! She felt her special day was now ruined and her clean record gone after one day. Over time she realises that if she sincerely repents and takes the sacrament, it would be just like being baptised all over again.}
We must always remember that we can repent and right our wrongs.
We can always be as pure as our baptism day.
Closing Song: Help Me Dear Father #99
Closing Prayer:
Treat: Icecream
