NewHmmm. Didn't Christ and Paul

Hmmm. Didn’t Christ and Paul say something about “traditions of men”?

I suspect the 84% number is a little high. From what I’ve seen on social media, many churches are canceling Christmas Day.

the last 4 months is having no Christmas Day service. I am very disappointed. It is a big deal to me.

I’d say come visit ours, but we won’t be wearing masks and we are a long way from Kansas!

Nothing is preventing you from putting one together for your family on December 25th, though.

I don’t wear a mask anymore… that was a year ago. I’ve been running church in my home for 2.5 years. Sermons, singing, everything.
