Christmas at Church

In leiu of ranting about churches that are shying away from "competing" with Christmas, I'll note what Wyandotte County CC has on the schedule this Christmas season.

We are encouraging our members to be at church as much as possible around Christmas. In fact, I made the guarantee last week that if you choose to spend time with your church family and worship God that it won't ruin your holiday. And after church, you should still have about 12 or 14 hours of Christmas to open your presents (not counting Boxing Day).

Starting Tuesday the 20th, we're going caroling at 6pm. We'll meet at the church and take a bus to go caroling for an hour or two and then return to the Jones' house for hot chocalate and such.

Wednesday, the 21st, we have Wednesday Family Night. Everyone bring sandwiches for yourselves as we won't be having our normal meal. At 7pm we'll have a short children's program.

Saturday, the 24th, we'll have a Christmas Eve Service of Carols and Candlelight. This is the event we're hoping people will invite their families and neighbors to attend. There won't be a communion service this year or sermon, just lots of Christmas music.

Sunday, the 25th, we'll have Church at 9am with a special service, in light of the holiday. Then in the adult Sunday School classes we'll have a gift exchange. It'll be a fun white elephant exchange, the only rules are 1. Keep it to $10 or less and 2. Make sure it's a gift you would want to take home yourself.

Merry Christmas.

Also the Youth Group has an "Almost New Year's Eve" Lock-in on Friday the 30th. Isn't that New Year's Eve Eve?
