Description
UPDATED!!!! I have just created two versions of this baptism program that are editable. Yes, all you have to do is fill in the blanks or change the text that's highlighted, and your baptism program is done!
The "generic" editable file is meant for adults or others who are being baptized.
The "primarychild" editable PDF is for children who are being baptized, and includes a field for the Primary Welcome.
Please comment below if you see any problems with these files.
======
I (Jenny Smith) created this for my son's baptism, and I will say it turned out beautifully. We had it printed on a color printer at Staples -- wow. The detail of Christ's baptism really turned out nicely.
This template was made for a Child of Record baptism (so includes participants' relationship to the child), but could easily be altered for any baptism.
As a side note, these songs are just what we picked out and the lyrics are included just so that you can see what it looks like. So what I'm trying to say is "Baptism" and "I am a Child of God" aren't required songs.
We had several non-member family and friends attending the baptism, and to give them a chance to see that Mormons aren't brainwashed cultists, we held a meal afterward to let everyone mingle. But again, a meal afterward is by no means required, expected, or even traditional.
1 page, front and back, half fold, 8.5x 11 inches, color.

I was concerned when I saw the copyright notice on the back, so before printing, I called Intellectual reserve, and they said that since this is for non-commercial use and the picture is in the gospel art kit, it is okay to use!

Yes -- when you use an item from the GAK, you should always include the Intellectual Reserve copyright. Intellectual Reserve has this website on file and has given me written permission to use these images.

#22 Thank you so much Jenny!!
Thank you so much Jenny!!
#23 Darn FedEx/Kinko's wouldn't
Darn FedEx/Kinko's wouldn't print these for me! They said because it had the word 'copyright' on it they could not do it unless I presented the written permission... but that if I had brought it in without the word 'copyright' anywhere on it they would have done it. Ridiculous! Do the right thing & get your permissions & they treat you like you're trying to pull something illegal - but go in there trying to steal someone else's art & they'd let it fly. Thankfully I had a friend with a good color printer willing to do it for me! THANK YOU for such a great program! Made that bit of preparation so smooth (well - except for the printing fiasco!! LOL)

jenny, I love this, but i have a problem. the elders said that the baptism talk and the holy ghost talk both have to be before the actual ordinance now...and so i tried changing that, but that part is not editable. I also need to include Relief Society welcome after bishop welcome. what can i do? Thanks for all your hard work; i love your site!

I can't thank you enough!!!
#29 Thank you for preparing this
Thank you for preparing this template. I would suggest one improvement on the front page - the name of the church should read "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" and without the comma.
