Your Baptism Day 
By

Share with each of your children the story of their baptism day to celebrate their new life in Christ and embrace their relationship with God as their Father and Creator.
Activity Plan
1.    Say this prayer aloud to begin.
  • Dear God, thank you for the gift of __________ being part of your family through his/her baptism. We are thankful for your parental love. We ask that you bless __________ and all of us today as we remember and celebrate his/her baptism. Amen.
2.    Plan a special meal and/or a special dessert. Light their baptism candle, or another blessed candle, to use as a centerpiece.
3.    Gather around the table for dinner and share the story of the child's baptism day:
  • What was the date? How old was the child?
  • Who are the godparents, and why were they chosen?
  • What did the child wear?
  • What church? Who was the presiding minister?
  • Did the child cry? Laugh?
  • What was the child's reaction to having water poured on their head?
