This
Baptism bag
(to
help the children understand how important their baptism is)
|
Two weeks before a child turns 8, they
receive their Baptism Bag. It is a paper produce bag (with a handle) and
with colored markers, their name is written on the front, a VIP badge is
stapled to it, and a big raffia bow is tied to the handle. In the bag,
they find:
-
a Gospel in Action card attached with a letter
for the parents to read to the child;
-
a CTR ring;
-
Sticker(s);
-
A little Baptism book that has games, stories,
lessons, songs, guest book, journal and a place for a picture;
-
also a list of what the child needs to bring
with them to their baptism,
-
an Achievement Days book (for the girls) or
the Faith in God card (for the boys who enter Cub Scouts) along with the
corresponding leaders names and numbers.
Sit down with the child to discuss the contents
of the bag and answer questions if they have any. You should see their
eyes light up when they see their beautiful Baptism Bags!"
