When one of the other co-founders of the homeschool group came to me about this year’s Christmas celebration, I had concerns. You see, last year, Jesus and discussions about Him were relegated to the first 30 minutes of the event. There were some manger and wise men themed crafts, but not much else.
So this year, when she mentioned concerns of possibly offending people with lots of Gospel/Jesus time, I was upset. I stepped out of leadership for the group last year to focus on cross-cultural ministry in our complex, so I was unsure of how she would receive my push back and concern.
Thankfully, we talked it out a couple of days later. I expressed my concerns and shared that if anyone is going to be offended, let it be because of Jesus being proclaimed and celebrated during this event out of our love for Him and them.
We concluded that she will make it known to all who are invited that we will be sharing about Jesus, without limiting when or for how long. We will have a time in The Bible, Christian faith-based crafts, and maybe even Christmas time worship songs.
Pray for the leadership to be bold, for me to spur them on in proclamation of Truth no matter the cost, and for those who come to hear, learn and believe in the One True God who willingly gave Himself to death and rebirth for our good and His glory.
