Closed for Christmas?
There are a lot of churches who have said that they are taking Christmas Sunday off. Can you imagine?
I guess the logic is that they normally have church on Sunday, but since this Christmas is on Sunday they will be closed.
A church closed on Christmas? On Christ's birthday? What am I missing?
To steal a phrase isn't Christ "the reason for the season"?

For another take on it. She says everything I could say and says it well.
You can be sure that our church will be open for Christmas. We will have the usuall Christmas Eve candlelight service and a Sunday service( which will also be a Christmas Day service). Then after the Sunday service we will have a Christmas potluck dinner so that those who don't have a family or friends elsewhere to spend Christmas with can spend it with their Church Family.
With all the stuff we have been hearing from the fundamentalists about Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas how can a church being closed on Sunday be rationalized?
