I wrote this theme originally for Valentine’s Day, but you could really use it any time of year and just skip the Valentine’s emphasis.
Love and conversation are so appropriate at any time and sharing our stories in conversation about Jesus to family and friends truly should happen all year round.

Icebreakers
Share in the “Conversation”.
Pass a bowl of Conversation Candy Hearts and allow each guest to take one. Go around the room and ask each person to read what theirs says and share. Take out any you think would not be applicable before filling the bowl. Sometimes they do say things that are off the wall.
Ask the question…
If you had to say the words on your candy to anyone, who would it be? And why?

Remember, don’t just “open” the pdf file, but “open” and “save” it to a USB drive if you want it for future use. There is never a guarantee of how long these will be available here. I recommend USB or Flash drives because computers crash but you usually don’t have to worry if you save files externally.
I appreciate you stopping by. As always, if you have more ideas for this theme, please leave your comments on the post. I always enjoy hearing from my visitors.
Have a lovely day,
