OBJECTIVE: Help children learn that Jesus said to love everyone. He wants us to be a friend to others. Talk about how Jesus gathered the children around to listen to the children and to teach them. He blessed them and healed them. 

ACTIVITY:
1. Copy hearts that follow for each child. Punch holes in hearts and tie together with string, tying a knot between each heart to keep apart (optional).
2. Necklace shows children how to be a friend like Jesus was a friend to others. Help them memorize: “I can ‘bee’ a friend.”

THOUGHT TREAT: Heart-shaped cookies or candies. Or, a candy necklace where they can tell how they can love a friend with each candy eaten (or each bite of the cookie taken).
