Relational Gifts

Here are the ideas I shared yesterday about how to give relational gifts this Christmas:
· Spend a day making breads, candies, or cookies with the family with Christmas music playing in the background. Then deliver these treats to new families in the neighborhood or friends and family in the area.
· Host a holiday movie night with friends. Order some pizzas, break out the cookies, and watch a Christmas Classic with a living room full of friends.
· Wrap 2 books and a box of tea to give to a friend. Insert a coupon and offer to get together once a week to discuss the book and have a cup of tea.
· Create coupons that are redeemable for some service that you can provide to someone else – babysitting for a young couple so that they can have a night our together, yard work for an elderly neighbor, etc.
· Buy a gift that requires spending time together with friend or family members – a board game that you can play together or a jigsaw puzzle or a model to build.
· Create coupons that are redeemable for some activity that you will do with the other person – a round of miniature golf, an afternoon of bowling, a hike and picnic.

I know that many of you will have some great ideas, too. You can share them by replying to this post or by going to the "Discussions" tab on our Facebook page.

Spend Less - Give More

One of the things I'm going to encourage people to do in the message this Sunday is to consider spending less this Christmas season so that we can give more to help people unwrap God's in expressible gift of Jesus.

I'd love to hear what ideas that you might have about how to do this. You can post your responses here or go to our Facebook page and respond there.
