The holidays are a great time to boost your group's sense of community.
by Erin Brownback
For a small group, it's always a good idea to celebrate Christmas in a warm and memorable way. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Meet on a Sunday afternoon, or at a time when you can enjoy each other's company for longer than usual. Have everyone bring food, and allow yourselves to feast on goodies all day long. See if there is a Christmas pageant or play your group could attend in the evening. You may also want to invite your group members' spouses or family.
Each person brings a favorite Christmas ornament and explains its significance.

Have each group member bring a favorite Christmas tree ornament to the group meeting. Have each one show the ornament to the group and explain why it holds such value. (Tell the group ahead of time about this; a reminder call is a good idea.)
