Are You Planning A Christmas Breakfast For Your Church?

Are you on the committee that will be planning the annual church Christmas breakfast? If so, you are probably already very busy with arranging every detail of the event. From buying wholesale waffle dough to arranging for the activity at your Christmas breakfast, here are some ideas that might help you to plan an enjoyable and memorable event. 

The Food - Waffles are a good choice, for sure. Think of asking several individuals in your church congregation to bring their waffle irons to the place you're holding your event, probably the cultural hall or the church gym. Ask them to bring the waffle irons either the evening before your Christmas breakfast, or at least super early, so that they can be set up on sturdy cooking tables. And save yourself a lot of time and trouble by buying wholesale waffle dough ahead of time.

Of course you could ask volunteers to bring waffle dough, but can you see the problem that might create? You might end up with some recipes that aren't going to go over well with those who attend your breakfast. Buying wholesale waffle dough is probably a lot more affordable than you thought it would be, and each batch will be consistent and delicious. Set out toppings like blueberry syrup and maple syrup, and even strawberries and whipped cream for those who want extra fancy waffles. Side dishes that include foods like sausage, bacon, and hash browns would be great additions to your waffles, too.

​The Activity - What could be a sweeter or safer place for children to meet Santa than right in the church they go to every week? Except, consider giving Santa a different roll this year. Before he hands out candy canes or other treats to the children in attendance, invite Santa to sit in a comfortable chair, maybe even a rocking chair. Ask all the children to gather around Santa, making themselves comfortable sitting on the floor. Dim the lights a bit, but be sure that Santa has a good reading lamp. Now comes the magic. While the children settle down, play some very quiet music in the background, maybe songs like Oh Come All Ye Faithful and O Holy Night. Watch the children's faces as Santa reads the Christmas story. There may not be any dry eyes in the congregation. After the reading is complete, each child can take his or her turn to greet Santa and to get a special treat.
