Before a church holds any event, program or service, we should always ask “why?” And Christmas is no exception.
We need to ask questions like “Why do we do this?” “Why do we do it in this way?” and “Does this event or tradition fit with the current mission of our church, or are we just doing it because we’ve always done it?”
Then, if it does fit, we need to ask “is there anything about it that needs to be updated for current generations?”
And maybe most important of all, “what aspects of our church’s Christmas events or traditions need to be explained instead of just assumed?”
