That’s a terrifying thought isn’t it? Just over 90 days to Christmas with very little visibility about what the season may look like or where on the country’s ‘roadmap’ we’ll have reached. Are there ‘U’ turns or ‘T’ junctions ahead or will be going via Spaghetti Junction? We don’t know. However, time is linear and the clock is ticking so Christmas does need some thought.
Where are you on your Christmas planning roadmap? As you embark on the journey, please be encouraged to remember Julian Mander’s article from last month ‘How safe are your couplings’ https://www.churchadministrators.net/newsposts/howsafeareyourcouplings. You will need to carefully assess the capacity and infrastructure of teams (employed and voluntary), as well as finance, building availability, congregational preference and confidence to plan your Christmas programme to be deliverable and effective. You may have more questions than answers at present. This is ok. Start with the questions and start the conversation to help your leadership plan in advance.
