Connected by Covenants
Covenants link us to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. By keeping our covenants, we can receive heavenly help and strength. President Nelson taught, “Once you and I have made a covenant with God, our relationship with Him becomes much closer. … Because of our covenant with [Him], He will never tire in His efforts to help us.”
Make a chain of links to remind you of your baptismal covenant! Then hang it somewhere you will see it.
-
Cut six strips of paper about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide and 8 inches (20 cm) long.
-
On each strip, write one of the ways you can keep your baptismal covenant. (The list below can help.)
-
Take the first strip and tape the ends together to make a circle. Then loop the next strip through the circle and tape those ends. Keep adding links until you have a chain!
