Hello and Happy December!
We are heading down the home stretch towards Christmas and the start of the new year.
This Christmas is going to be unlike any we’ve ever experienced before.
If you are a part of a church, school, ministry or business, you know that “playbook” you’ve got that has all the usual Christmas events in it? Well…
Throw your Christmas playbook out the window!
The coronavirus pandemic is forcing us to rethink everything. Advent and Christmas Eve services, Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, Christmas outreach, Christmas caroling – can we do them at all? If so, what will they look like this year?
Not only are the decisions we make about Christmas events more important and more difficult than ever, but also…
Clearly and repeatedly communicating information about Christmas events is more important than ever!
This is because people are concerned about safety, they want to know what things are going to look like, what the expectations are. We’ve got to be really clear on the details, and we’ve got to communicate it in an environment in which people are distracted and using lots of different communications platforms.
