4 Charcuterie Board Recipes for your New Year’s Eve Party in 2020
Unashamedly, one of our favorite parts of Life Group is the food! At Vintage Grace, we love to party and we love to eat. Charcuterie boards are a fun way to bring the party to any Life Group gathering. The good news is even if you can’t pronounce it you can still enjoy the delights of a charcuterie board this holiday season.
charcuterie: (SHärˈko͞odərē) noun. Cheese and crackers in a power suit.
Here are four creative ways to enjoy this popular and drool worthy food display at your New Year’s Celebration:
Traditional Charcuterie
For a traditional board you’ll need an assortment of your favorite meats, cheeses, crackers, breads, spreads and fruit. Start by arranging the spreads on your platter in small containers. Arrange the other items on the board in an artful display. Check Pinterest or Google for inspiration.

Whether you’re leaving 2020 behind with a feast and merriment or getting a head start on your New Year’s diet and exercise we hope you take a moment to reflect on all this year has been: The ups and downs, the chaos and uncertainty, the unexpected gifts of a year like we’ve never known before.
Something we know for certain is that God does his best work in our lives when we’re in community. Our primary expression of community at Vintage Grace is something we call Life Groups. A Life Group is a small group of people who gladly commit to meeting together to encourage one another to find their joy in Jesus. The spring semester of groups is starting soon, so we invite you to join a Life Group this year and watch God move in your life! You can join a life group or find out more info by emailing davidk@vintagegrace.org.
Here’s to 2021 and whatever comes our way!
