Sending Valentines to Church Members

Outreach Ideas for the Church

     No matter what age you are it is fun to get Valentine's Day Cards! A great way for the whole church to get involved in sending by making or filling our Valentines to people in the congregation and to your church shut-ins…those who are in home or nursing homes and can’t get to church. Have the younger children make Valentines and draw pictures to send to the shut-ins or those who are home bound.  Everyone loves a picture drawn by a child!

     Have the people of your church bring in the Valentine cards they would like to give to church members and put them in a large box at the narthex of the church where everyone enters and leaves the church.  A week before Valentine’s day have some volunteers in the church divide the cards up and put them in piles by families in the church. Place them on a table so that as each family leaves they can pick up their Valentine cards that others have given them. Have the cards for the home bound or shut-ins delivered to their homes.  What a nice jester for everyone to have some Valentine’s cards on that special day.
