Your church shouldn’t take any Sundays off for holidays, but if they do, just be honest that you don’t want low attendance or can’t fill volunteer positions and don’t want to hold a lower key gathering. Don’t try to “spiritualize” it like it’s some beneficial thing.

Some surprising feedback this morning and afternoon on a sermon I felt was pretty rough but others felt as encouraging and edifying. Praise God that he uses imperfect preaching to impact souls with a perfect gospel.
