A very big thank you to all of those who took the time to give me input for my first ever sermon poll! Altogether I received 32 responses and the top three vote getting questions were (from most popular to least popular) 1) Why is the story of the wise men such a big part of the Christmas story? 2) Does Mary's virginity really matter? and 3) What historically was going on at the time of Jesus' birth? (See the side bar for the rest of your results) It was a well worthwhile effort as one of the questions I would have never considered preaching had it not been for your valuable effort. So, now that the votes are in, the preaching schedule will look like this:
Sunday, December 7 - Christmas Q1: What historically was going on at the time of Jesus' birth?
Sunday, December 14 - Christmas Q2: Does Mary's virginity really matter?
Sunday, December 21 - Christmas Q3: Why is the story of the wise men such a big part of the Christmas story?
Wednesday December 24 - Traditional Candlelight Service retelling the Christmas story.
Thank you to all who participated.
