Objective:
To bring your group together to share love, service, and hope with families in need during the Christmas season.
Description:
The group gathers to prepare Christmas blessing kits that include basic food items, a small treat (candy or cookies), and a card with a Bible verse and words of encouragement. Then, a community outreach outing is organized to deliver the kits personally, pray for the families, and share a moment of hope.
Materials:
- Christmas-themed bags or boxes
- Non-perishable food items
- Candy or cookies
- Cards with verses and messages
- A list of families or locations to visit (hospitals, vulnerable neighborhoods, nursing homes)
How to do it:
- Opening prayer: Center the group’s hearts on the purpose—serving, blessing, and sharing the light of Christ.
- Assembling the kits: Each member helps pack items and write personalized cards.
- Outreach visit: Divide the group into teams and visit the assigned families.
- Prayer moment: Offer a short prayer for each family you meet.
- Closing time: Regather to share testimonies and experiences from the outreach.
Expected outcome:
The group strengthens unity, the community receives a message of hope, and God’s love is shown in a practical and meaningful way.
