Christmas Celebration Lunch
This year’s Christmas Celebration Meal Resource is based around the theme Love Came Down at Christmas. With this in mind, this resource focuses on how we are all neighbours, no matter who we are, where we have come from, whether we belong to The Salvation Army or are attending for the first time.
A service outline gives a basis for how you might lead the worship/carol service through before the celebration meal, but this can be split into three sections if you wanted to use a section before each part of a three-course meal.
The scripts are monologues featuring Mary, Joseph and the shepherds. These can be simply read, but if your selected volunteers for each monologue wanted to dress for the part that would be amazing!
For further support in how to use this resource, please contact the Older People’s Ministries Team at olderpeoplesministries@slavationarmy.org.uk
God bless you in your continued ministry throughout this Christmastime.
