Jesus is Baptized

This week, we’re going to hear about the time when Jesus was baptized by his cousin, John. The story can be read in Matthew 3:11-17.

After watching the video, answer these questions: 

• What are some normal things dogs do? 
• What were some not normal things this dog was doing?
• In the story we heard, Jesus was doing something unexpected and different. What was Jesus doing that was not normal for a boy His age? He was teaching in the temple! Jesus was filled with wisdom, even at an early age. We can be thankful for Jesus, His wisdom, and His help every day.

ACTIVITY  | Floatacious

Instructions:

• Prepare a small tub of water.
• Set a plastic plate in the tub (make sure it floats!) and set out five empty soda cans.
• Set a time for one minute and try to build a tower of cans that floats by stacking the cans on top of each other and on top of the plastic plate.
• For younger kids, they only need to stack three cans. For older kids, challenge them to try and stack five cans. The tower has to stand for five seconds.
