Give Your Helpers a Job and Give Yourself a Seat

The Christmas Gathering Helper Pack is a 17-page printable companion to Gather at the Manger: Christmas Event Kit. The kit tells you what to plan. This pack holds the trackers, cards, and checklists that help you keep track of it all and hand it off to the women who want to help.

If you have ever led a gathering, you probably know how the day can go. You're the one refilling the coffee, hunting for the tape, and answering every question that comes up, and by the time the devotional starts, you haven't sat down once. Your women came to be with each other, and they would love for you to be with them too.

This pack puts each helper's job on a card in her hand, so she can answer most of her own questions before she has to find you. The RSVP list, the shopping list, the seating plan, and the day-of supply box all live on paper instead of in your head. That's what frees you to take a seat at your own gathering.

HOW IT WORKS

Download your file immediately after purchase and print what you need as many times as you need. Print the trackers fresh each time you host.

The pack was made to sit right beside Gather at the Manger: Christmas Event Kit, and its pages point you to the kit pages they go with. Most of it works for any gathering, but Scale the Menu Guide builds on the kit's menus, so the two work best together.

"Very inclusive with lots of tools to help gather friends for a party or even a mini-retreat to help get our hearts and minds ready for the Christmas Season."

Sylvia G., on the Connect with Christ this Christmas Bundle

"This is fabulous, like a retreat in a box… everything I needed wrapped up and just waiting to be opened. We are short on time but with this package we are ready to roll within weeks."

Judith L., on the When Life Gives You Lemons Printable Theme Bundle

    Frequently Asked Questions

    ✞ Are the retreat materials written for a single session or multiple sessions?

    The retreat materials are written for one long, complete teaching session, which can be presented in a variety of ways depending on your event format. Many leaders use it as the foundation for a half-day or single-session retreat, while others divide it into 2–3 parts to create a full weekend experience.

    The included teaching, devotional, discussion, and reflection sections are flexible and detailed enough to support multiple sessions with space for worship, crafts, breakout groups, and personal application. Whether you're planning a short gathering or a full retreat weekend, the content is designed to work with your schedule.

    Here’s one example of how a weekend retreat could be structured using this content:

    *Friday Evening — Session 1: Opening & Foundation

    -Welcome + Opening Prayer

    -Theme Introduction

    -Personal Story

    -Scripture Reading & Commentary

    -Optional: Short discussion or journaling time

    *Saturday Morning — Session 2: Core Teaching

    -Recap & Prayer

    -Teaching Section (Part 1 and Part 2 from the expanded outline or script)

    -Small Group Discussion

    -Optional: Craft or creative activity

    -Worship or prayer time

    *Saturday Afternoon or Sunday Morning — Session 3: Devotional Focus & Sending Out

    -Devotional Teaching (from the included devotional + additional teaching content)

    -Individual Reflection Questions (journaling time)

    -Final Teaching Section (Living It Out / Becoming Messengers of Hope / Christ-Confidence Daily)

    -Group Response Time and testimony sharing

    -Closing Remarks & Final Prayer

    Quiet reflection time can be woven into each session or scheduled separately throughout the weekend. The Individual Reflection Questions included in the bundle are ideal for helping participants go deeper in their personal time with God.

    Sharing testimonies often ends up being one of the most meaningful parts of a retreat, so creating space for women to share how God is working in their lives can be powerful.

    If you’re planning a full weekend event, you may also want to include breakout sessions. You’ll find a variety of ideas for those here: https://lovingchristministries.com/breakout-session-resources/
