Christmas
is a time for compassion
By JOHN HATCHER
Religion Columnist
The Christmas season
is the second highest priority marketing opportunity for the church
(Easter is number one). By marketing opportunity I refer simply to that
time of the year when people are in a “buying” mood for the
church and what the church has to offer. The second highest attended
service, nationally, of the whole year — second to Easter Sunday
— is Christmas Eve. We of the church figure this is a good time
to reach out to those who may become members and one day help with the
mission of the gospel. In essence, many of us seek to reach people who,
one day, will become a part of our program and perhaps make a viable
contribution to the cause of Christ.
