I just got home from attending a lovely Christmas Eve service with my daughter and her family. What a nice, no pressure, service, singing the old songs we all know. Silent Night, etc. everyone came dressed as they were, women in jeans, ( my daughter had ripped ones on ) . Lit candles at the end. This is how church should be. This was a community Christian church.

I`m pleased that you had a lovely Xmas Eve with your daughter and her family with a Church that doesn`t put restrictions and conditions on how they say you should worsip or respect or even acknowledge your God.
Good for you
Take care Biahi

Bihari, I'm glad you had a good time with your family listening to beautiful choral music.
Do you think they'd let me in a KH with ripped jeans?! Hey they wouldn't let me in a KH😀

When Paul spoke against poor people in dirty clothing being made to sit in the back at meetings, he wasn't talking about 'newly interested ones', he was talking about Christians. There's nothing wrong with dressing up if that's what you want, but one rule leads to another rule and another without end. A very slippery slope.

Xanthippe - you and your ripped jeans are always welcome with me.
Merry Christmas to all!

Biahi, I have a relative that years ago when he and his wife "woke" up that they attended with their children a Christmas production at a local church. Afterward, they looked at each other in disbelief and commented, "we have been missing this for 30 years because we were "Witnesses"? What a waste."
