Primary Baptism Program
I love to do crafts and have cute handouts and activities for church (and school, and friends, and - well you get the idea). I don't consider myself creative, but often use the help of others' talents. I decided to share what I'm doing for others just like me. It may be a link to where I found something or it might even be something.I. created. Right now I work as a paraprofessional at my kids' elementary - in special ed (autism).
I started creating items for my 3rd graders this year and can't wait to share them with you. I am the 1st counselor in YW (first time in YW is this past year). I also have ideas for cub scouts and sunbeams posted, my previous callings. Since I wasn't able to make my invitation with Boo in her Baptism Dress I wanted it to at least be on her program.
Myself and the oldest took pictures the Sunday before her baptism. A kind friend edited the pictures for me (since we all now know how I can't manage Photoshop). I searched for invitation ideas, but couldn't find one that included everything I needed.

So I made my own. I designed it with my daughter's name at the top and the date of the baptism at the bottom. A 4x6 photo fit perfectly in between.
I ordered these from Costco and included a black border around it. I attached the photo with photo corners so that friends and family could remove the picture and keep it if they chose to. You could print the photo right on the invitation, but I wanted family to be able to keep the photo and not necessarily have to keep the program.
On the inside left is the first song we sang in the program: 'When I Am Baptized.' Type in the song your child chooses here. On the right is the program outline. I included titles - either Brother/Sister/Bishop or family relation: Grandpa/Father/etc. I wanted to include the witnesses and who was performing the baptism and confirmation. I also learned that both a member of the primary presidency and bishopric take a moment to welcome the child & say a few things.
(If this is for a convert there wouldn't be a Primary Welcome). On the back is the closing song. There is also a little note stating where the template came from. Please leave the web address on it (you can change wording/font size, just make sure the blog address is correct).
