Stay for food, fellowship, and fun
Celebrate Christmas together at JICF! Following our combined service on Sunday, 6 December, the Christmas Carnival will bring our church family together in the outdoor foyer for lunch, shopping, and fellowship.
As Mariana explained in her Sunday announcement, this is a chance to enjoy the gifts and talents of our international church family. Community groups and ministry groups will prepare home-cooked food from different nations, with snacks, desserts, and drinks to enjoy together.
The Verity girls are preparing a dessert table, and drinks will include coffee and matcha. Rather than heading out for lunch after church, bring your friends and family and stay to enjoy the celebration.
Most of all, make room for a new friendship. Mariana encouraged everyone to sit with someone they don’t yet know, start a conversation, and make this a time of real fellowship.
Get involved
A celebration we create together
Enjoy the food
Come hungry for international home-cooked dishes, youth-made desserts, snacks, and drinks. Community and ministry groups are serving together to make this a welcoming lunch for the congregation.
Give to the Christmas shop
Have a brand-new, good-quality item at home that you aren’t using? Donate it to JICF’s Christmas shop. Donation collection begins Sunday, 8 November, at a table in the foyer. Include a suggested retail price; the church team will handle pricing for the sale.
Shop with a purpose
Find Christmas gifts, bags, shoes, and other unique items while supporting JICF. All proceeds from food and donated gifts go to JICF. The Christmas shop is a way for the church family to give to and serve one another.
Bring someone. Meet someone.
Mark 6 December in your calendar, invite your family and friends, and plan to stay after the combined service. To ask about a booth, contact Mariana or Fufung before the 14 November registration deadline.
