Lesson.
John the Baptist taught in the wilderness. He told the people to repent. He wore clothes made of camel hair and ate locusts and honey. (Allow children to put on a wool coat/jacket or something similar) Show picture of John Gospel Art Picture Kit #207 Jesus came to John to be baptised. John was surprised. He thought Jesus should baptise him. He knew Jesus was perfect and didn’t think he would need to be baptised. Jesus said it was a commandment from God and he wanted to obey. John baptised Jesus in the Jordan River. The Holy Spirit descended as a dove and God spoke from Heaven saying “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” Show picture of the baptism Gospel Art Picture Kit picture 208

That is wonderful! I think we will try it! What a special FHE!
i also just found your blog and i am so excited, i think you have solved my problem of how to have FHE with my 3 year old. thanks!
Natalie - I am glad you are starting to post again. late last year, I started an FHE blog just to keep us consistent with doing it (nothing gives me more incentive than having to record what we do each week). I found your blog when I was trying to come up with ideas for activities. I loved them and even referenced your blog several times. I just wanted to thank you for starting them up again because it is not easy trying to come up with ideas for small kids.
