Try this for a special ladies luncheon!
This photo shows what I found on my dashboard. Here’s the story…
If your church is planning a Christmas brunch or luncheon, here’s a great idea to pamper your guests and share Jesus’ love, too.
I attended the annual Christmas luncheon at Northside Baptist in Indianapolis on Saturday. Your church may already do some version of this event, but members of the church volunteer to host a table for the event. They decorate their table with their Christmas dishes or beautiful paper dishes, centerpiece, favors, etc. They also recruit their own table server (often her husband or friend) and invite guests to fill the table. The beauty of this plan is that the luncheon becomes a wonderful outreach event. The music, decor and speaker all led culminated with an explanation of the real meaning of Christmas and God’s plan of salvation.
Here’s the unique idea they added to the already wonderful event. Men in the church volunteered to valet guests’ cars. The church driveway was blocked so each car that entered was channeled to the door, so they couldn’t park their own car. The men had it organized perfectly, with envelopes for each set of keys and a system for finding the cars easily to retrieve them. Everyone was delighted, of course.
When my car was returned after the luncheon, I found a card on the dashboard. It was business card sized, and read,
It was a pleasure to see you today! While parking your car, for you and your family I pray: “Lord, may you, the God of hope, fill this one and her family with all joy as they trust in you, so they may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15:13. In Jesus’ name I pray.” 
Now this is a big job, but what a blessing to the recipients! The gift of valeting ladies’ car is sweet, but that blessing card made it a true ministry in His name. Write your own blessing cards, and show Jesus’ love for a special occasion.
