Women's Christmas Dinner Hostess Sign Up Information

 Aside from Women's Bible Study and Sunday  mornings, the first event I ever attended at Red Mountain Community Church was the Women's Christmas Dinner.  Well actually, I didn't just attend.  I signed up to be a hostess.  You may be wondering to yourself, What is the Women's Christmas Dinner and exactly what is involved in hostessing? Or maybe you have attended before, and never taken the plunge to hostess a table on your own.  Even if you have never attended before, I strongly encourage you to give of your talents to serve in this awesome outreach opportunity.

In the video for session #5 of Beth Moore's James study, Beth used the example of her granddaughter, Annabeth, to illustrate the joy that can be received by serving others.  This visualization truly matched up with my experience hostessing that first year at the Women's Christmas Dinner.  I was new to church.  I knew the names of the ladies in my small group and at mom2mom, but I had not yet developed deeper relationships with them.  I was scared, but I really felt the Lord impressing to me that this was a step (leap) of faith that he wanted me to take. So I signed up to hostess that year and it ended up being a very rewarding decision.  God not only used this outreach event for me to minister to other women, but he also grew my faith, and gifted me with friendships of Godly women through my experience. 

The Women's Christmas Dinner is a girls night out for women ages 16 & up, and includes a candlelit, catered dinner, and an inspirational speaker.  Hostesses are responsible for setting a table for 8 women, including a festive centerpiece and table settings (exactly like setting your dining table at home for 8: silverware, cloth napkins, water glasses, coffee cups, dinner plates).  Hostesses may purchase 1-4 or all 8 seats at their table and invite family, friends, & neighbors to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season with them, or may leave 4-8 seats open and extend hospitality to women they do not yet know.  Even better, a hostess can invite her friends & family the first night of the dinner, then hostess again the second night, and open up her table (and heart) to the new friendships that God has planned for her.
