“It’s OK to say Merry Christmas”
Help preserve our tradition of saying “Merry Christmas” by sponsoring Project Merry Christmas in your church.
It's hard to believe that there are companies and individuals who want to ban "Merry Christmas" and replace it with "Holiday Greetings" because, they say, they don't want to offend anyone.
Christians can take a stand and proclaim to our communities that Christmas is not just a winter holiday focused on materialism, but a "holy day" when we celebrate the birth of our Savior.
We can do it in a gentle and effective way by wearing the “It’s OK to say Merry Christmas” button.
You can help preserve our tradition of greeting others with a “Merry Christmas” by taking a vital leadership role in AFA’s "Project Merry Christmas."
Here's how~
AFA is making available an attractive button and Glossy Sticker that carry on our tradition of saying “It's OK to say Merry Christmas."
Purchase enough buttons for each member of your church and enough Glossy Stickers for each family to have one to go on their automobile.
Urge your fellow members to wear their buttons and display the Glossy Stickers during the entire Christmas season.
If you are unable to sponsor your church yourself, ask your Sunday School class to make it a class project.
You can even order buttons and Glossy Stickers to share with co-workers, children in Christian schools, customers, etc.
Some might think simply wearing a button or displaying a Glossy Sticker is a small thing, but God can use small things to make a big point, and to create opportunities to share the Good News.
And what a great time to do that at Christmas!
AFA is asking individuals like you in thousands of communities across the nation to head up this project in their local churches.
Your willingness to underwrite the cost for your church and enthusiastically promote this project is the key to making an impact in your area.
very cool! i'll check it out...not suire if it would work for my church (about 12,000 peeps attend) but maybe i could wear all 12,000 buttons myself. guess that wouldn't be very subtle though.
ReplyDeletefunny that the buttons are cheaper than the stickers! i was thinking of ordering a ton of stickers and putting them on my Christmas card envelopes.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I think the stickers are for your cars or something!
ReplyDeleteI just think that this is the MOST ridiculous thing I have ever heard of!
Can you imagine being sued for saying"MERRY CHRISTMAS"!
PPSSFFTT! Ridiculous!
12,000 attend?! Man~ us presbyterians are happy if we break 200. :)

This looks great! John will be all over this....it's a topic especially close to his heart... each year he makes a point of stating to not purchase Christmas cards that say, 'seasons greetings' or 'happy holidays'. I agree wholeheartedly, but he's extra passionate about this:-)
ReplyDeleteTell John that I do the SAME thing!
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me I have to get everyones address.......
I love Christmas cards!
