Brandvold: Where’s all the church Christmas displays?

My husband and I greatly enjoyed a drive around Sun City West last evening, checking out all the wonderful festive lights. Many thanks to so many for sharing your Christmas spirit!
I do have a concern, though. The Christian churches in our city are mostly dark. I wonder why. This is still a Christian celebration, yes?

Letter by Karyl Brandvold of Sun City West

My husband and I greatly enjoyed a drive around Sun City West last evening, checking out all the wonderful festive lights. Many thanks to so many for sharing your Christmas spirit!

I do have a concern, though. The Christian churches in our city are mostly dark. I wonder why. This is still a Christian celebration, yes?

Is it too expensive to set up a nativity? Is it too much work and no one will volunteer? Is it somehow viewed as “politically incorrect?”

Who could possibly be offended by a Christian display by a Christian church? Just wondering...
