“Greater Things” Thursday #49: Holiday Banquet

Lebanon Road’s theme for 2011 is “Greater Things.” For an introduction and video to the theme, click here. Each Thursday, we are highlighting a different area in which we are striving for greater things.

Congregational fellowship is a huge part of any church family. Getting together to enjoy one another’s company is so important, and it promotes far more than just a “good time.” It helps build unity, and helps generations work together for the common good.

One event at Lebanon Road that is a night of fellowship is our annual Holiday Banquet. This is truly a special night! We enjoy a catered meal (that is absolutely amazing), as well as wonderful entertainment, all centered around a holiday theme. One of the blessings of this night is that it is only for adults, so some of our great teenagers from Lebanon Road take care of the children, so we adults can enjoy a relaxed, fun night together.

The fellowship committee truly goes all out for this night. The fellowship hall is decorated beautifully, from the tables to huge “back drop” decorations, and they always find entertainment that is lighthearted and fun. But I think the key is that every detail is taken care of. For a night like this to truly be memorable, they make sure that every aspect is done as well as possible, and those of us who attend reap the benefits of their hard work!

In 2010, our entertainment was a performance by the Nashville Singers, with our very own Tim Mullican as one of the members of that singing group. The meal is always done by some of our own members who are caterers, and it is second-to-none! I am thankful for every person who makes this a night that is both memorable and relaxing.

Here are some pictures from our 2010 Holiday Banquet.
