Unwrap the presence
I know from being a youth worker that there are many good excuses
for not attending church, but how do some of those excuses bear
up when applied to something else? Here is an example from a youth work
resource called Hot Illustrations:
I don't eat anymore because....
1. I was forced to eat as a child
2. There are so many different kinds of food, I can't decide what to eat
3. I used to eat, but got bored and stopped
4. I only eat on special occassions
5. I'll start eating when I get older
6. None of my friends will eat with me
7. I don't really have the time to eat
8. Restaurants and food stores are only after your money!
9. People who eat are actually hypocrites, they are'nt really hungry
10. I don't beleive eating does anyone any good, it's a myth
What
excuse do you have for not coming to church over Christmas? Why not
consider attending just one of our church services, no terms and
conditions apply. No one-off payments needed, and no need to contract
with us. Church attendance for those who know Jesus is as important as
regular, balanced meals (1 Peter 2:2). In the same way, our church
services are there for you to come and feast on God's promises; they
are an exciting opportunity in which to come and learn more about the
true meaning of Christmas, and a God who has the most valuable gifts
anybody could receive this season.
Come and discover what
Christmas can really be about, come and join us as we unwrap more of
God's presence in our lives. You are welcome through our doors anytime!
