1. Host a Christmas brunch: Plan for a potluck meal of salads and desserts during the usual MTM hours; for decorative centerpieces, have a member from each small group provide a creche to place on their group's table.
2. Present the salvation message: This can be offered by your pastor, a Titus 2 leader, or a guest speaker.
3. Give a simple but meaningful gift to each mom: Examples of this might be a book (perhaps a devotional for moms, or a children’s book), a tote bag, mug, note cards, inspirational music CD, or an ornament.
4. Enjoy Christmas music: Sing carols, invite guest musicians, provide background music.
5. Share Christ-centered family traditions that moms can introduce at home: Read Luke 2, have a birthday party for Jesus (complete with a birthday cake!), or take their children along to visit shut-ins.
