Students Christmas Parties
Celebrate the Season with XRoads & Bright Life!
White Elephant Gift Exchange + Holiday Dinner Parties
Sunday, December 14 | 5:30–7:00 PM
Get ready for one of the most anticipated student events of the year! On Sunday, December 14, both XRoads and Bright Life will host their annual White Elephant Gift Exchange and Christmas Party dinners during regular student ministry programming time. This evening is all about laughter, community, and embracing the joyful, sometimes silly, spirit of the season.
XRoads Christmas Party — Fellowship Hall
Students in XRoads are invited to the Fellowship Hall for a festive potluck-style Christmas dinner followed by the always-entertaining White Elephant Gift Exchange. Whether it’s a funny item, a quirky find, or something wonderfully random, White Elephant gifts are meant to surprise and spark laughter. Students can bring a wrapped gift (around $5–10) and prepare for some friendly trading and lots of fun. Alongside the gift exchange, families will contribute to a delicious potluck meal, creating a warm, communal holiday celebration.
Bright Life Christmas Party — The Hangar
Bright Life students will gather in The Hangar for their own White Elephant Gift Exchange paired with a crowd-favorite dinner: a build-your-own Nacho Bar! The casual, relaxed atmosphere makes this party a perfect way for students to unwind, connect, and enjoy time together before winter break. As with XRoads, students are encouraged to bring a wrapped, humorous, or creative gift valued around $5–10 to take part in the exchange.
Both groups will enjoy games, holiday music, and plenty of opportunities to laugh, build friendships, and celebrate the meaning of community during Christmas time.
