Put the Merry Back into Christmas at your Church

Updated: Oct 27, 2022


For many people, Christmas is anything but merry. Christmas can be a difficult time for many people.


Yes, it can be a time of great joy but also a time of loneliness and sadness.

This is especially true for those who don't have a close relationship with God through Jesus Christ. And yet that is why Jesus left Heaven and came to Earth that first Christmas. As Pastors and ministry leaders we all recognize that this is one of the times of the year when we can make a big impact in how we share the good news of Jesus with those who are facing the difficulties of life.


Our regular Christmas services are one of the things we tend to do really well. And we need to keep doing those times of worship and celebration. They are so important in the life of the church. One of the things we struggle with is doing an event that will help our church to fellowship and have fun with one another and reach those not attending a Christmas service.


Why not reach out to your community this year and invite them to a special Christmas party?


A party where everyone is welcome?


A party where there's no pressure to buy or give anything?


A party for your church and their friends, family, and co-workers?


A party where you can connect with new people and still share the full meaning of Christmas in a non-threatening environment?


A party that will speak to every age and generation?


Yet, I want to make the most of this time of year.


Host A great multi-generational Christmas party


1. It brings people together from all walks of life.


2. It encourages family bonding and strengthens relationships. It provides a fun, festive, and non-threatening environment for families to come together and celebrate Christmas. There is no pressure to buy or give anything, and everyone is welcome. This is a great opportunity for your church to reach out to their friends, family, and co-workers in a way that celebrates the true meaning of Christmas. It's also a great way for families to connect with each other and strengthen their relationships.


3. It allows different generations to learn from each other. Making sure your event is multigenerational is important, as it will ensure everyone feels welcome. You can do this by having different activities for different age groups or setting up a special area for kids.


4. It gives you a chance to share the full purpose of Christmas with everyone. Christmas is a time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. It is a time when we come together to rejoice in the hope that is found in Him. And it is a time when we get to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those who may not know Him. What better way to do that than by throwing a Christmas party?


A Christmas party is the perfect opportunity to reach out to your community and share the full purpose of Christmas with them. It is a festive and fun environment where everyone is welcome. There is no pressure to buy or give anything, and you can connect with new people while still sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. What could be better than that?


You are probably like me, as a Pastor myself, the idea of putting on a Christmas event can feel overwhelming. There's so much to do just keeping up with my regular weekend services and so many details to take care of. As a pastor, you don't have time to plan and execute a Christmas outreach event. And, it can be difficult to find volunteers to help plan and execute a Christmas outreach event.


Most people are already busy with their holiday preparations and may not have the time or energy to help out. That's where One Voice's Merry Mania comes in. The team at One Voice Ministries has developed everything we as Pastors need to help us be successful in throwing a party to reach our church and community all the while allowing us to focus on building relationships rather than production.


As a Pastor, I am passionate about reaching out to people who might not otherwise celebrate Christmas, especially without expending all of the energy that myself, our volunteers, and staff need to continue being successful on the weekend. One Voice Merry Mania can help you make your Christmas event a success, regardless of your community's age and demographics.
