The Church of God and Christmas
Hoping to encourage some discussion about how CoG congregations integrate the Christmas season into their church.
I’ve attended several churches where there were huge trees in the sanctuary, some in the foyer, and some that had none. I’ve seen large displays of garland and wreaths in some churches, and other churches had no hint of Christmas.
I’ve read about (but not attended) CoG churches that had Santa Clause for the kids, while others forbid that. Many congregations support the Buy a Tree missions program where the church sells Christmas trees and uses the money to support children’s needs, while others look at that as giving in to the secularization of Christmas.
Fully understanding that “Jesus is the reason for the season”, is there a line that should not be crossed in regards to “non biblical” things in our churches?
