In teaching bible study curriculum and in life in general the tendency is to slow down and relax this time of year. You must fight that urge though. You need to push yourself to work just as hard, study just as deeply, and pray just as hard as you do the rest of the year. You need to look for ways to minister, new and better ways, to reach out to the community around you. This will take some discipline as our cultural norms have trained us to act this way. But we can overcome this. And by overcoming this you can help others lives be changed to. We can help them see that their lives need to be different too and that there are new and unique ministry opportunities this time of year. Let this be a time of renewal and revival in your church instead of a time of vacation and slowing down. Push through the urges that are in your nature and allow God to work through you to live as He has called us to.
