Christmas on a Sunday can also present a conundrum as pastors try to balance parishioners’ sacred religious observance at church with family time in the home.

Christmas was never a happy time for me. Most were spent away from my siblings, many in a hospital room, and all of them from age 4 to 17 were spent away from both of my parents and any extended family.

In the midst of these national struggles, many families are preparing for a more personal religious fight: going to church on Christmas.

Since Christmas falls on a Wednesday this year, worship services are scattered over the next several days. See the listings below for details.
