Looking for a great way to start the new year?  Start designing a winter camp for your church to help your members get spiritually charged!  If you're thinking... yea, that is a good idea, our group would really benefit from a new year's re-charge...  Start making plans by setting a spiritual goal or mission that the event needs to accomplish.  Then build objectives that will help you to meet those goals as you plan in the details of your event.  Let the goal of the event drive your choice of property, dates, activities, etc.

Christmas brings many traditions to mind, but some of my favorites are

  • Christmas Eve candlelight service
  • Christmas caroling followed by soup, cookies and steamy hot chocolate
  • and one of my all time favorites putting the focus on Jesus -
    the reading of the Christmas Story from Luke 2.  

May your family experience the greatest joy this year and
draw near in love to enjoy the truest, deepest, merriest
Christmas ever.
