Summer is the perfect season for fellowship and brunch. If you enjoy hosting, this can be rewarding and fun. You and the women in your life can eat, fellowship, and have devotion in a cozy atmosphere. These types of settings are great for creating meaningful connections during a time when people are feeling more disconnected due to things such as social media. You can be the person who brings everyone together.
1. Keep the Menu Simple
You don’t have to serve a huge meal to make the brunch special. Choose a few easy, but tasty items:
- Fruit platter
- Charcuterie board
- Mini quiches or egg muffins
- Scones or muffins
- Bagels and cream cheese
- Coffee and herbal tea
A simple floral arrangement instantly brightens the table. Consider using a neutral serving set you can reuse for every gathering. Pick something timeless and versatile, such as this simple white ceramic set, that matches everything. Keep it simple. You are not looking for perfection.
2. Create a Theme
Themes are good for guiding conversation without making the gathering too structured. Here are a few summer brunch themes for Christian women:
- Faithfulness
- Fruits of the Spirit
- Gratitude
You may print a scripture for each place setting. Or you can gift a beautiful Scripture card set (like these watercolor verse cards).
3. Have a Short Devotional
Keep it short. 5 to 10 minutes is all you need. You can:
- Read a devotional
- Invite 1-2 women to share words of encouragement
- Share a testimony
- Have a prayer
If you prefer, you can use a devotional book. A good option that I personally recommend is Becoming The Modern Proverbs 31 Woman by Chrystal Bernard. I like this book. It references scriptures and actions that you can apply the scripture to.
4. Create Meaningful Conversations
You can use the devotional to stir the conversation. Or you can ask a few intentional questions such as:
- What is God showing you this season?
- Any prayer requests?
- Any praise reports?
These can be written in a notebook for reflections at future brunches. Sort of like a gratitude journal. This can become a special tradition for your group.
Summer Bruch Checklist
Here is a quick planning list:
- Choose a date, time, and place
- Select 3-4 menu items
- Pick a theme
- Prepare 2-3 discussion questions
Final Thoughts
A brunch is a great way to fellowship with friends and to bond. You don’t have to make it complicated. The point is to gather and have devotion. Your group will enjoy meeting up and getting fed spiritually and physically. So set the table, and enjoy hosting!
