Avoiding the Christmas Crash


It happens every year. Thanksgiving ushers in the start of the Holiday Season and we are determined to keep focused on what Christmas is all about. But as each day counts down to December 25, our good intentions get overshadowed by the hustle and bustle of "the most wonderful time of the year." Before we know it, Christmas has come and gone and we feel like we experienced another Christmas Crash.

Wouldn't it be nice if this Christmas was different? It can be! Beginning this Sunday we will be starting a new message series here at Gaylord E-Free Church that we are calling, "Avoiding the Christmas Crash!" It is our goal that every part of this series, right down to the carefully designed stage setting, will help each of us to experience the most peaceful Christmas we have ever had. This series will cover the following:

Nov 27: Avoiding the preparation crash!

Dec 4: Avoiding the gift-giving crash!

Dec 11: Avoiding the post-holiday crash!

Dec 18: Avoiding the family crash!

And then the actual Holidays will continue this focus on a peaceful Christmas through two Christmas Eve services (5pm and 7pm); one special Christmas Day service (10am); and one special New Year's Day service (10am). The themes for these special Holiday services will be:

Dec 24: Messy Christmas

Dec 25: Mega Joy

Jan 1: Keep on Celebrating

Don't miss any of these seven services in our "Avoiding the Christmas Crash" series as together we look at the Word of God and see how we can experience the most peaceful Christmas we have ever had! Invite someone you know to be join us at Gaylord E-Free. If you live outside of the Gaylord, Michigan area, be sure to listen to the audio of each message on line at our church website at:
