I hate it when shops put Christmas product out to early. Although with stretched budgets, I get why people may want to spread the cost. Of course, that then raises questions about whether spending a lot on Christmas is really missing the point.
Now, is the time church leaders and ministry teams need to begin planning Christmas guest services. We have found that all of our new Christ followers, first came to church for a Christmas service. That means that services over Christmas are a key drive for evangelism to reach new people to encounter Jesus Christ.
Church Admin makes planning easier
I have just updated the premium plugin, so that you can schedule multiple services on the same day, because St Johns Church realised their two Christmas carol services weren’t both showing. Do get in touch if you spot a bug or would like a new feature!
It is worth having an “Ad hoc” service setup, then you can create schedules for those random services like weddings, funerals and… multiple Christmas carol services.
As you get ready for the Christmas season, make sure the premium plugin is updated to the latest version, so that you can plan and communicate those special services, where lots of people are involved!
The Gift Exchange
Over the next few days, I will be posting what we have learned about creating an invitational culture for “high Sundays” (high in the sense there will be high numbers ofguests).
Then I will be posting our Christmas sermon series outline, a drama sketch and Canva template for flyers for “the gift exchange”
