Looking for a way to share the joy of Christmas in your neighborhood? Why not go old school?
Gather your shepherd group or friends or family, break out your scarf, hat, and gloves, and go “Caroling for Christ.”
We are out of caroling kits for the 2023 year! If you didn’t get a chance to grab a kit but want to participate, you can still put together your own kits—here’s a list of what we include:
- Invites to the Christmas Eve Service—1 per house (you can download and print here)
- A Gospel of John or Christmas tract—1 per house
- A candy cane—1 per house (feel free to include chocolate, candy, or Christmas cookies instead!)
- Song sheets—1 per caroler (download our songs here or create your own!)
- Jingle bells (made with pipe cleaners and jingle bells)—a few per group
- Goody bags for each house to put the candy and info in
This is an evangelistic opportunity for all ages brought to you by the Children’s Ministry at RBC. Here is how you can take part:
- Pick up your Caroling Kits at the Quest desk (children’s area).
- Get a group together — whether that’s your shepherd group, HomeFront group, or adult Bible fellowship class.
- Coordinate the time and location (their neighborhood or nursing home) and go caroling some time before Christmas.
- Post pictures to social media using the hashtag #rbccaroling. You can also email pictures, testimonies, or videos to kids@restonbible.org.
Each caroling kit contains material for caroling at 15 houses. They include instructions, songs, candy canes, the Gospel of John, and invitations to the Christmas Eve Service. It’s a great way to let the community take initiative and spread some Christmas cheer and the good news of Christ!
