Holiday Connection Activities

Connecting With Quitters

Special activities designed for the holidays focus on togetherness and community, reflecting the core purpose of reconnecting with those who may have stepped away from traditional church environments. These activities are meant to create a sense of belonging and demonstrate the love and grace that embody the spirit of Christ, making everyone feel valued and included. These include:

• Holiday Meals: Organize potluck-style gatherings where everyone brings a dish, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and connection. Include conversation starters that encourage reflection on gratitude and the season's meaning.

• Community Service Projects: Participate in or initiate a local service project, such as preparing care packages for those in need or volunteering at a shelter. These activities help to embody the spirit of giving and kindness.
