Christmas Celebration Lunch

This year’s Christmas Celebration Meal Resource is based around the theme We Are Here, God is Here, Hope is Here. 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. There are also three scripts and short thoughts, as well as song and activity suggestions. Additioanlly you will also find templates to invite your guests and other practical information to consider. 

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.
