Valentine’s Day is not just about heart-shaped cards and yummy treats – it's a great opportunity to show kids and tweens where real, unconditional love comes from: God! In the midst of all the excitement and sugar rushes, why not use this time to talk about a love that goes way beyond just personal relationships? This Valentine’s Day, let’s have fun while also pointing kids to how awesome God's love truly is!
1. Do a Bible Study About God’s Love

At the final destination, gather the group and discuss the verses, emphasizing how each one reveals a different aspect of God's love.
