IN MY WORDS – Have you ever been involved in a church Christmas program?

They may range from a very small event to a full scale production. My husband and I have been involved in programs for years and find much fulfillment and enjoyment in leading an excellent presentation of music, drama and worship to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. This year we are helping in a new church plant and at this point, most of our people are new converts so the event will be more small scale.

On the other side, we just returned from a full scale production in Long Island at our favorite church, Bethel UPC. A 90 voice choir, music and drama starting at the Old Testament promises, to the Nativity all the way up to the Day of Pentecost! Amazing and truly glorifying God.  They are reaching thousands of people with the full Gospel message in the course of a few weeks. I pray new souls will be won through all their major efforts and commitment. 

Whether a program is small or grand, I pray that our hearts will be filled with worship and our message rings clear: Christ is born, our Savior has come. And oh how we need a Savior!

Be bold this Christmas, share Christ.

Talk of His goodness.

Sing all those beautiful carols and reach out to those around you.

And lend your full participation to any outreach your church is doing to share the Christmas story.

Question: What does your church do for Christmas? Candlelight service? Christmas caroling?
