Picking A Theme - "Let It Be Rooted, Not Random"

You have a million options for Christmas themes. And your Pinterest board knows it.

But the best themes don't start with trends - they start with truth.

What part of the Christmas story feels alive to you this year? Where do you sense God highlighting His heart for your church and the outside world?

Maybe it's hope for weary people? Maybe it's light in dark places? Maybe it's "God with us" in a year when many feel alone.

Once you sense that spark - follow it. Build your visuals, your setlist, your stage design, your graphics, your vibes (yes, vibes are spiritual) around the story God is already telling.

And remember: simplicity is still holy. You don't have to reinvent the Nativity with lasers and LED walls - unless you're guided to!

Reflection:

What is God emphasizing to your heart for this season? What theme feels like a breath of truth?

Let us Pray Together: Lord, guide my creativity. Let the theme we choose point people straight to You Jesus. Our prayer is not only are they pointed to You, but they leave CHANGED by the Blood of the Lamb. In Jesus Mighty Name we pray, Amen.

Worship Team Discussion Questions during rehearsals for Christmas Services

1) What part of the Christmas story feels most alive or meaningful to you this year?

2) If you could describe the heart of this season in ONE word, what would it be?

3) Have you sensed a theme or emphasis that God might want our church to hear?

4) How can we align our creative ideas (music, visuals, design, storytelling) around a unified theme?
