The snow is falling, the jingles are playing, the decorations are up, and the smell of peppermint lattes fills the air. For many people, Christmas is a day of getting presents, making family plans, and eating great food. Thousands of people will be with their friends and families, attending church services and enjoying the fellowship. With so many things to do, and little time to do them, it\u2019s no wonder that worship leaders can get stressed out and allow many little distractions to divert their attention from the most wonderful time of the year. By implementing these few important changes in your planning, we think you\u2019ll be able to relax and enjoy the holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Get in the Holiday Spirit<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When thinking about all of the planning you have to do as a worship leader, it\u2019s important to allow yourself time to soak in all of the excitement of the season. Remember when you were a child and the thought of Christmas morning couldn\u2019t come fast enough? That same spirit is one that can embolden and excite the team around you. Do fun things with your team. Decorate the office. Have a Christmas Day countdown. Ask your co-workers about their holiday plans, rituals, and favorite pastimes. When you enjoy the spirit of the season together, it builds anticipation and makes everything more enjoyable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>It Takes a Village<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You may already be behind the eight ball with this one, but there\u2019s always time to plan ahead. If you need to wrangle up a few extra volunteers to help, don\u2019t be afraid to ask. You\u2019d be surprised to find out how many people are still able and willing to help with church planning! Gather a vision for what you\u2019d like to achieve during the Christmas services. Imagine a theme, and start meeting with team members to get ideas on how to make it happen. Don\u2019t put all the stress on yourself, and don\u2019t try to do it all alone. Once you\u2019ve got a general idea and direction, start assigning and delegating tasks to people who are ready to work. Set a schedule for things like setting up the stage, getting props and decorations, and choosing the set and special elements in the service. Anything you can do to plan ahead will take the stress away and won\u2019t leave you and your team scrambling at the last minute. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lights, Camera, Christmas!<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It can be a lot of work, but changing things up during a Christmas service can be a game-changer. Why do the same thing during Christmas that you normally do every week of the year? With so many guests and a spotlight on the Christmas season, don\u2019t be afraid to shake things up with volunteers who play trumpet solos, children\u2019s choirs, dramas, and more! I\u2019ve seen angels atop tall risers from the choir loft, traveling wise men among the audience, and real animals in the nativity scene on stage! Maybe you don\u2019t have to go that far, but the idea is to really get creative and bring out all the stops. Just make sure that there is still a Christ-centered focus in what you do. Adding more elements to the service allows more people to get involved so they know they have an important role. When you encourage your team and flex your creative muscles, it can lead to a great Christmas service. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>A Christmas Carol<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When choosing your setlist, it\u2019s often difficult to do songs in a way that is modern and fresh. An easy way to accomplish this is to try to write your own modern take on older Christmas tunes. Have writing sessions together with your team and really let the creativity flow. Another idea is to listen to what others have done well and put their arrangements in your set, whether it be other worship leaders or artists. For example, Chris Tomlin\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/loopcommunity.com\/chris-tomlin\/its-christmas-medley-live\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\">It\u2019s Christmas (Medley)<\/span><\/a>\u201d is a fresh combination of multiple classics. You can download the Premium Tracks for it on <a href=\"http:\/\/loopcommunity.com\/chris-tomlin\/its-christmas-medley-live\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff\">LoopCommunity.com<\/span><\/a>. You can also mix in some throwbacks and sing the classics in style with the congregation. Whatever you choose to do, make sure it\u2019s planned ahead and well-communicated so everyone knows your expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Naughty-Nice List<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s face it. People leave town during the holiday season and are sometimes unavailable. It can be really frustrating when the volunteers you\u2019re counting on tell you that they won\u2019t be around for the holidays. Now is the time to make a list of which volunteers will be present and able to help, and which ones won\u2019t. Don\u2019t get mad or frustrated if your team isn\u2019t what you expected. Instead, view this as a time to really train and utilize the volunteers who may still be working on their instrument or parts. Giving them ownership of something will really help call them up. You never know what\u2019s happening in their lives or if they\u2019ve been working really hard to show you how ready they are!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night<br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is totally optional, but one thing I always remember to do in my own way is letting the final element of the service be congregationally involved. Whether it\u2019s singing classic carols together acapella, having testimonies of what God\u2019s done this past year, reading the Christmas story, or doing a candlelight service, the important thing is to close with a sense of community. This \u201ctogetherness\u201d really helps tie the night together and sends blessings off with the families as they get ready to head into another year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">So when you\u2019re stressed and think your Christmas service is going to be a flop, just remember to slow down, enjoy what\u2019s happening around you, work together, plan ahead, set real expectations, be creative, and most importantly, thank God for His greatest gift of all &#8211; Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/loopcommunity.com\/sites\/all\/themes\/lc_2015\/images\/team\/janson_roberts.png\" width=\"146\" height=\"171\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<span>Janson Roberts is a singer\/songwriter and producer from Atlanta, GA.
