Christmas Worship During a Pandemic
Saving the Season was a free webinar hosted by Missio on December 3, 2020.
Beyond chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and the commercial appeal of shopping for gifts, the Christmas season remains central to the life and ministry of churches. Carols, choirs and cantatas contribute to the festive spirit around the birth of Jesus Christ. However, with an ongoing global pandemic, where both public gatherings and choral music have been deemed a risk, many churches are still finding ways to worship in alternative forms. This conversation will explore ways to bring meaning to this challenging season and facilitate excellence in worship of our savior.
