This year during our Planning Christmas series we asked if your church had started planning for Christmas.
Less than half the churches in our poll did serious Christmas planning. 37% started planning early and another 9% plan year round.
But then there’s the procrastinators. 36% had a basic plan, but hadn’t firmed up the details. 9% were waiting for November to talk Christmas and another 9% were planning to do last minute planning (!).
Maybe in 2012 you should schedule a Christmas planning meeting in July. Now’s the time to put it on the calendar.
