RED SUNDAY is February 18th - Valentine's Day is the time of year that gives us a perfect opportunity to discuss 'LOVE' with our children - specifically what the world says about love and what God says about love - His truth - and His plan.  We do this on 'Red Sunday.' We invite kids and grown-ups to wear RED (or pink!) - and to bring a valentine to share. We use these as fun starting points for our 'love discussion.'  We have snacks and activities during our class time to remind our kids 'it's all about love!' If you'll consider giving a treat or time, please let Debbie know.  If you have questions, please text/call or email Debbie at 503.932.2294 or debbie@faithchurchdallas.org. We are so thankful for the Hope we have in Jesus and His great love for us. We are excited for a day to remind us to share that love with others! Your kids (and you!) are so loved!
