Optional gathering idea

Refreshments can be fun without becoming the focus.

A colorful fruit tray or fruit-forward charcuterie board can make the break feel festive. Ordinary snacks, coffee, water, or no refreshments at all are equally appropriate. Choose what fits the group, budget, needs, and allergies. The celebration comes from recognizing the goodness of God together.
