Kids

We invite our kids to participate by creating heart art to go inside the bags of love.

Heart art means kids create a piece of art with the purpose of encouraging someone. We want to share with people that God loves them.

Pull out some construction paper and markers and get drawing!

The heart art can come with your bags of love OR can a scanned/picture version of the heart art can be emailed to us by clicking the button and we will add it to a bag.
