Arana Christmas Banquets

“And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,” – Acts 2:46

What are Arana Christmas Banquets? 

Arana Christmas Banquets are opportunities to meet people from church that you may not already know, and on this occasion you get to prepare for Christmas EARLY! You share a meal at your host’s home, obviously Christmas themed, but with the emphasis on fun and fellowship, so you don't have to be a gourmet cook to participate. There will be a dinner option on Saturday 16 November or a lunch option on Sunday 17 November, so hopefully one will work for you.

How will Arana Christmas Banquets work?

Simply fill out the registration form.  You will then be placed in a “random” group of 8 and assigned a Holly Jolly “host home”. If you are registering with a partner or friend, you will be both be assigned the same group. Your Holly Jolly host will contact their group to arrange the details for their Christmas Banquet gathering.

What does a Holly Jolly Host do?  

They open their home for the Christmas gathering and contact the group to organise who will bring what to the Banquet.  It’s as easy as that!  If you have a desire to host, but don’t have the room, it may be possible for you to host at the church. 

Who cooks the Christmas Banquet?

Everyone pitches in and brings something Christmassy to contribute!  Your Holly Jolly host will communicate with you to assign the main dish, sides, desserts, and drinks.

What about families with children?  

Please register and we'll make it as easy for you as possible.  You can register for the lunch option if that suits your whole family, although, this option is open to everyone, not just families.

We need hosts, so please tick the hosting box and someone will be in contact with further information.

HO HO HO!
