Will You Attend Church on Christmas?

In just two days we’ll be gathering with family and friends to celebrate Christmas. This is the day when we celebrate the amazing grace of God in the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior and Redeemer. I’m assuming that most of us will benefit from the reminders to not allow all the distractions of the season to keep us from understanding and truly celebrating the Incarnation. I know that I need to hear those reminders. And based on some recent research from the folks at Lifeway, we increasingly need to think about celebrating Christmas by gathering with others in our local churches to worship the God who became man. Lifeway has found that while nine out of ten Americans do something to celebrate Christmas, less than half now plan to attend church to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Forty-seven percent say they typically attend church, forty-eight percent say they do not, and five percent are unsure if they will. Make sure you and your family gathers with others to worship the newborn King.
