Mount Allison has regular cookie for your thought tables and a writing wall where students get a cookie and write down on the wall what they think the current holiday means. Sponsor an event where people share the message behind different celebrations in an open way. You can sing seasonal songs that everyone is familiar with so that people feel comfortable. These are camps held over the New Year holiday for international students and any other students who don t go home for the break. They often provide times to share different holiday traditions and celebrations.
Students often enjoy the opportunity to try winter sports like hockey, skiing, and tobogganing.
There can also be times for informal Bible studies and sharing of testimonies of people in the group. Book the school gym for a night and offer a time for different sports. SFU tried volleyball and found it prudent to have a competitive and a non-competitive part so that all levels of volleyball players feel comfortable. Book outdoor concerts in areas of heavy student traffic. Make Christian books available for sale or sign-out.
