What is a Christmas Gathering?
Christmas Gatherings are holiday parties. They feature seasonal goodies, sharing of Christmas traditions, and a brief, non-threatening talk on the meaning of Christmas. They provide a time for people to invite neighbors or other groups into their homes to hear about the love of Jesus Christ.
