Children’s Ministry & Valentine’s Day
In children’s church and Sunday school, take a Christ-centered approach to Valentine’s Day. Teach children that Jesus loves them no matter what. This foundation will shape their faith for life.
Every heart craft, Bible verse, and kind act points kids to a Savior whose love is greater than any holiday. So as you plan Valentine’s Day church ideas for kids, remember: The greatest message is that Jesus loves us…always.
