Church youth valentine games

Why or why not? What was the problem with the church at Ephesus? This is an awesome message. I have been in youth ministry for 3 yrs now and write all my own messages.

I have been getting deeper and deeper into ministry though with an average of messages a week. Ive scoped through this message on love for valentines day and its great.

When the game starts, each child, one at a time, has to run to the finish line and grab a heart. Then they must return the heart to the start line and place it in an empty bucket there.

The team to get the hearts back to the start line first wins. You could make it difficult and tell the class they cannot use their hands. Other tricky variations have the kids hop back or crabwalk, with the balloon back across the start line. Tell kids if they pop the balloon, they must start over. Whoever finds both shoes first wins the game. Buffy Naillon has worked in the media industry since , contributing to Germany's "Der Spiegel" magazine and various websites.

God loves you so much, and He sends His love to each of us days of the year — not with chocolates and cards but with His gift of eternal life so that we can be with him forever in His loving Arms.
