📢 YOUTH LESSON RECAP: LOVE LIKE JESUS ❤️

We had an amazing time today learning about God’s love and how we can show love to others just like Jesus did! ✝️

🙌 Jesus showed love by:
✨ Healing the sick 🤕➡️😊 (Luke 5:12-16)
✨ Feeding the hungry 🍞🐟 (Matthew 14:13-21)
✨ Loving the outcasts 🤝 (John 4:1-26)
✨ Forgiving others ❤️ (John 8:1-11)
✨ Giving His life for us on the cross 🙏 (John 3:16)

📖 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” – John 13:34

💌 We put love into action by creating “Love Day” cards for those who need encouragement with Minister Bernice Cotton and Minister Tonietha Hunter ! 📝💖

🍕 And of course, we ended the day with a party to celebrate youth fellowship and God’s love! 😋🎉

✨ Challenge for the week: Let’s be the light! 💡
