Love Your Neighbor: Mocktails and a Bible Study!
Love Your Neighbor: Mocktails and a Bible Study!
This week’s Love Your Neighbor blog is all about bringing your neighbors together for a delightful evening of mocktails and Bible study! In the video, Frankie-Gene shares her reflections on aging and how women increasingly crave community. What better place to foster that sense of belonging than in your own backyard?
We often don’t know the challenges our neighbors face—the pressures from work, school, or personal burdens they carry. However, we can create a welcoming environment where women can come together for fellowship, open their hearts, and pray for one another. Psalm 133:1 beautifully captures this sentiment: “How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”
Remember, hosting doesn’t have to break the bank. It could be as simple as hot tea, cozy pajamas, and your living room couch. With the holidays approaching, we’re excited to share a festive mocktail recipe for those who want to add a special touch to their gathering!
Mocktail Mule Recipe
- 6 oz ginger beer (usually found in the juice aisle!)
- A generous splash of apple cider
- Juice of half a lime
- Stir and garnish with a cinnamon stick
Simple and delicious! This refreshing drink is sure to please a crowd. For a holiday twist, consider swapping the apple cider for cranberry juice.
You might choose to kick off a Bible study, a book club, or even discuss the week’s sermon with a small group from your church. Tailor your gathering to suit the needs of your community—it’s all about authenticity and connection.
And here’s an important reminder: God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips the called. It’s natural to feel apprehensive about inviting others or leading a Bible study, especially if you’ve experienced rejection in the past. We encourage you to step out in faith. God will provide the words and bring the right people into your life—you just need to take that first step!
