This one was found on a bulletin board in the children’s corridor of the First United Methodist Church of Crystal Lake.

It’s in the shape of a heart.

Centered in the heart are a series of nine little hearts that spell

The “V” is from the word “love”
in “For God so loved the world.”

The “a” is from the word “gave”
in “that he gave.”

The “l” is from the word “only”
in “his only begotten son.”

The letter “a” is from the word “whoever”
in “that whoever.”

The “n” is from the word “in”
in “believes in Him.”

The “t” comes from the word “not”
in “should not.”

The “i” is from the word “perish”
in “perish from the earth.”

The “n” comes from the word “everlasting.”
Just one word in that line.

The “e” is from the word “life,”
also a one word line.
