Real Love: a 4-Week Teaching Series for Children's Ministry TOPIC: Jesus' Teachings SCRIPTURE: Gospels DECORATING THEME: Hearts AGE GROUP: Elementary (Get the Preschool version here !) We are always teaching our kids that we need to love God and love one another, but often times neglect to give them tangible ways to do so. In this series, we are going to examine a few of Jesus' teachings in depth and discover practical ways we can demonstrate our love for God, family, friends, and enemies, too! Our hope is that by the end of this series, every kid will be able to say, because God loves everyone, I can show God's love by being kind, I can show God's love even when it's hard, and that ultimately, love is the best choice!
