Week 5 & 6: Connecting & Serving!
Instead of following a Group Discussion, use these first two weeks in December to
● Serve somewhere in your community, and
● Have fun together!
You could easily just have a meal together - or you may also want to consider:
● Including any children in your Group and having a family Advent activity,
such as making Advent wreaths
● Caroling your neighborhood and passing out invitations to Discovery’s
Christmas services. It’s AMAZING how enthusiastically people receive this
kind of caroling and invitations!
● Attending Zoolights or some kind of Christmas celebration together. Be
sensitive about doing activities that have a fee. That can present a hardship
to some in your Group - and they may not be comfortable letting you know.
● Some of Discovery’s Young Adults are planning a Christmas-themed Worship
Night for the week prior to Christmas. Plan to join them! (Details pending…)
A few outreach ideas:
● On Saturday, Dec 8 PAVE is hosting a Santa Breakfast for families with
disabilities (neurotypical families welcome as well!). If Discovery has
volunteers there, we could also have Christmas service invitations available.
Contact Doreen Vandervort [email protected] for more information.
● On the evening of Sunday, Dec 16 Discovery will host a Christmas Party as
an outreach for local elementary age kids, followed by caroling. Plan to join
one or both parts of that evening!
● Many communities have LOTS of opportunities for serving in December. Look
at the events happening right in your neighborhood or community and
connect with those!
