Between Monday and Sunday

I get a periodic e-newsletter from Provident (they promote Fireproof and the other Sherwood movies). They have posted links to five free Christmas songs! For some of these you go to a website and have to give your e-mail address and other you have sign in to Amazon. Tenth Avenue North: Go Tell It On The Mountain Jars of Clay: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Matt Maher: Silent Night Annie Moses Band: O Come O Come Emmanuel Brandon Heath: The Night Before Christmas Thanks Provident!

I'll include this info in the Pastors Today e-newsletter on Monday but I thought some of my readers might want to access them for something going on this evening or tomorrow. Download two all new quizzes in PDF form courtesy of LifeWay's Facts and Trends Magazine. Download them , print them out, and challenge your staff, family, or class to a friendly Christmas-themed competition. Other Christmas resources are available on on this page ... New Year resources are available here ...

I found this article in a past edition of Let's Worship Magazine and thought it would be very helpful for pastors or teachers as they are dealing with Christmas and the traditions around Christmas. It's a transcript of an address to a group of ministry leaders. Here's a quote ... Sometimes it seems that Christmas is overlooked as an opportunity to share the good news in a way that they may be saved. Much of what we have around us and the trappings of Christmas came because those who preceded us understood that there was an opportunity in the birth of our Lord to communicate even as the shepherds communicated, that we might do what we do not giving offense to anyone, but that people might be saved. But it’s not easy.
