FREE Valentines Day Bulletin Inserts, to remind people that God loves them
Bulletin inserts are a great tool for evangelism for seasonal Sundays because often family members visit who do not attend your church regularly.
Some of the folks in your church may have the courage to invite family to church, but not know how to share the gospel message with them. This is where an insert can be an ice-breaker or perhaps be a tool to start a spiritual search.
The graphic images are provided for you, but please personalize with challenges and ways to connect with your church
If you do up a bulletin insert like this and then on the back put in more material that is specific to your church or to another outreach, you can potentially make the holiday something more than a nice time of celebration, but a turning point for a life.
This bulletin insert, in three formats (dark colors, light colors, clipart) uses the quote by Augustine that reminds people that though it feels great to focus on love, romance and the real or dreamed-of human partner we all long for, that human partner can never fill the place only God was meant to fill.
As St. Augustine said, “You have made us for yourself O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
To download the PDF file of all three, click here or on any of the images.
Personalize the message for your church and tell people what to do next:
On the back of either a bulletin insert or a postcard, let people know that you want them to find real love in Jesus.
To do that you might:
**Announce an upcoming sermon series
**Provide some links to evangelistic websites
**Invite them to a seeker small group
***Ask them to join a FaceBook group on Finding real love….in Jesus or whatever topic you might think up
***Let them know you have people they can email or call if they have questions about the Christian faith.
***Use
it as a time to launch or invite people to an upcoming Alpha course
***Launch or announce any other exciting, interesting or any other event your church is doing to introduce people to the Christian faith, your church and Jesus
*****For additional resources, links you can use for your website, etc. this page which has a list of gospel, apologetic and Christian growth sites you can recommend:

Pick out several that you think might work, research your own, but give people a way to continue to explore a relationship with Jesus.
Valentine’s Day is one holiday you know you can speak to the real needs of people, because everyone needs love.
Pray lots that your church might use it as a time to channel this God-given desire into a love for Jesus.
