Reading other people's blogs is a good source of topics for my blog. This evening I read a blog about churches in another area that decided not to have church service on Christmas Sunday. There seemed to be three reasons for this decision: 1)Church Services were held on Saturday so why have them again on Sunday; 2)Church Service would interfere with family activities such as opening gifts; and 3)not having Church Service would give families more flexibility. I found this almost unbelievable that churches even considered cancelling church services on Christmas Sunday. Perhaps some churches in our area did too, but I am not aware of any. Ours certainly didn't. The topic never even came up. The first reason given implies that going to church is an obligation that we are to perform once a week and any more than that is going beyond the call to duty. I feel going to church is an opportunity to worship God with my church family. I welcome the opportunity to go two days in a row. The second reason implies that God is not number one in the lives of the church members. Families and family time are certainly important, but God is the most important. I find it difficult to believe that churches would say that opening gifts is more important than worshipping our Father. The third reason implies that if we can't work God into our busy schedule, than we can just skip worship. God should come first and the rest of our schedule built around worship. I am very pleased that our church didn't even consider this. We had a wonderful and meaningful Christmas Eve Service and an equally meaningful and wonderful Christmas Day Service.
