Christmas is a time of family traditions

But sometimes you can't be with family

Live too far away

Grown kids have other family

It's a struggle for most pastor families to put their family before the church

Set date boundaries early

For newly married pastors- talk through traditions you had as kids. Pick the ones you want to continue

So make sure to start or protect family traditions

Your young kids need those traditions and memories

Read the Christmas story

Celebrating advent

Adopting a family in need

Occ shoeboxes

Serve at a community Christmas dinner

Missions offering

Our tradition of opening presents early because we would be traveling

 

Does your church do a Christmas Eve service?  Should you?
