Jesus' Baptism....

Zippy came and told us about his

cousin's baptism

we learned what happens at a baptism

and when we read from the bible we

learned what happened when John baptized 

Jesus...

There was a dove and a voice

that said,

"This is my son whom I am well

pleased with...."

we talked about how JESUS IS GOD

and also the Holy Spirit...

There are 3 parts but only 1 God..

ALL 3 parts were present at Jesus' baptism

God the Father (the voice)

God the son ( Jesus)

God the Holy Spirit ( Dove)

Eleanor and Calvin are letting us

borrow this baptism set for

a few days!!!

We talked about how some

of us were baptized as babies..

and got to share pictures..

please feel free to continue to email

the pictures to me... (or pictures from your own or someone else

in your family)

we will share them ALL.

The children LOVED to look at each others 

pictures...

I know that in some of your churches, you baptize your children 

as they get a little older.. if anyone wants to share

info about that with our class

PLEASE let me know... I think they would like to learn about it
