was a priest by the name of Valentine. He lived in Rome during the reign of Emperor Claudius, who was committed to rebuilding the once-great Roman army. Claudius came to believe that only single men would volunteer for service, so he issued a royal edict that banned all further marriages. Valentine secretly continued performing marriage ceremonies. He would whisper the words of the ceremony, while listening for soldiers on the steps outside. He was caught, thrown in jail and sentenced to death. <br> One day, he received a visit from the daughter of one of the prison guards. Her father allowed her to visit him in his cell and they often sat and talked for hours. She believed he did the right thing by ignoring the Emperor and performing weddings. On the day Valentine was to die, he left her a note thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. He signed it,  Love from your Valentine. That note started the custom of exchanging love notes on Valentine s Day. It was written on the day he died, February 14, 269 A.D. a day that was set aside in honor of a man who gave his life for God and for love. <br> The question for us, is how do we develop and nurture a love worth giving on Valentine s Day and every day? &nbsp;</font><font color="#FFFF00"></span></font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" width="100%"><font color="#FFFF00" face="Times New Roman"><img src="pictures/main/addition.JPG" width="563" height="155"></font></td> </tr> </table> </center></div></td> <td valign="top" width="20%" bgcolor="#0C2635"><table border="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td colspan="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="2"><!-- Google Calendar Element Code --> <iframe frameborder=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 border=0 style="border:0;margin:0;width:300px;height:300px;" src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?showTitle=0&showTabs=0&showPrint=0&showCalendars=0&wkst=1&element=true&src=usa__en%40holiday.calendar.google.com" scrolling="no" allowtransparency="true"></iframe> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr size="3" width="96%" color="#880015"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><font color="#A3A1A2" size="4"><b> God's Valentine</b><br> <br> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#0C2635"> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">For God so lo</font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">V</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">ed the world</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">that He g</font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">A</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">ve</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">His on</font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">L</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">y</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">begott</font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">E</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">n</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">So</font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">N</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4"></font>&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4"></font>&nbsp;</td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">T</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">hat whosoever</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">believeth </font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">&nbsp;I</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">n Him</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">should </font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">&nbsp;N</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">ot perish</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4">but have </font></td> <td align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="4">&nbsp;E</font></td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4">verlasting life</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"><font color="#808080" size="4"></font>&nbsp;</td> <td><font color="#FF0000" size="4"></font>&nbsp;</td> <td><font color="#808080" size="4"></font><p><font color="#808080" size="4"><br>- John 3:16</font></p> </td> </tr> </table></font></p> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr size="3" width="96%" color="#880015"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><img src="main/shc.jpg"></td> </tr> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" bgcolor="#FFCC99" bordercolor="#C0C0C0"><div align="center"><center><table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="90%"> <tr> <td width="100%"><font color="#800000" size="3" face="Arial">Open hearts, open minds, open doors; the people of Forsyth United Methodist Church take seriously the challenges facing the world today.
