Teach kids what the Bible says about loving others. They taste like chalk, but we give out millions of these little hearts every year to express "love" on Valentine's Day. The Bible has a lot to say about love, but it doesn't usually involve candy. Each lesson looks at a different "Candy Heart Saying" to teach kids what the Bible says real love looks like. _______ Candy Hearts Curriculum Lesson Overview: Memory Verse: "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
