Bible story:
Mark 1:11 And a voice came from heaven, "You are My Beloved Son; with You I am well pleased."
God Is Pleased
John the Baptist was a prophet who lived in the wilderness near Jerusalem. He ate grasshoppers and honey. His clothes were made of camel's hair, and he always wore a big leather belt. John was very wise. Many people came to hear him preach. He baptized them in the Jordan River. One day, Jesus came and asked John to baptize Him. John didn't want to because he knew who Jesus was and that He was Holy. "You should baptize me," he said to Jesus. But Jesus said it was right for John to baptize Him. So John baptized Jesus in the river. When Jesus rose out of the water, the sky opened and the Spirit of God, like a dove, came down to Him. at the same time, a voice from heaven said, "You are My own dear Son. I am very pleased with You." Jesus invites us to be baptized, too. In Baptism, Jesus washes away our sins and makes us God's children.

Since we are studying Baptism, we took a walk to church. I showed the children a Bible, God's Word!
We also checked out the Baptismal Font.
We saw the Baptismal wall. Then, we took a special trip to the Chapel to watch the ladies make some baptismal banners.
After that, we went outside for recess.
All of us used crayons to color a picture of John baptizing Jesus.
We baptized a doll. This should reinforce the concept of water and the word.
The classmates were all very loving when holding the doll.
This is a glimpse of our Wacky, Tacky day.
