A Church Christmas Welcome from our site can easily be edited to provide a warm welcome to Christmas Services.
We have over 125 Church Welcomes on our site, PLUS over 1200 Church Letter Templates! All of them are included with your active membership and we continue to add to the site often!

Many churches include a welcome within the contents of a program or church bulletin. Others will share the welcome directly from the platform at the beginning of the service or program.
Most people would never think of inviting someone into their home without a welcome of some kind. Our churches should be one of the most welcoming places for people to visit!
Welcome! Today is the first Sunday in the Advent season. Can you think of some of the Biblical themes of this season? Certainly, the love and faithfulness of God our Father is high up there, but have you ever considered the idea of hope? Although it may not be the first thing that comes to mind during the Christmas season, there is much to consider.
In fact, hope is a very prominent theme in Advent. The anticipation of the coming Messiah is always in light of the hope we have in his return. Just as the Israelites hoped for their deliverance, we too look forward to the final deliverance, his return in glory where he will create a new heavens and a new earth. As the prophet Isaiah proclaims:
Welcome! We are inching ever closer to Christmas day, the day that we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, the light of the world. We are coming to that realization that God is in our midst. As the prophet says:
The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a mighty Savior; He will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in His love, He will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals. Zephaniah 3:17
The second week in Advent is traditionally the week of peace. Christians often refer to Jesus as the “Prince of Peace,” and the Psalms are full of references to God bestowing peace upon his people, as the Psalmist writes:
Welcome! Can you believe it is already the third week of Advent? With Christmas approaching, we can often get caught up in the business and stress that comes with the holiday season. With so much going on around us, it is important that we remain focused on the real meaning of Christmas.
Isaiah 60:1 tells us this: Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
As you know, this scripture was written by the prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus was born!
Today, we continue to celebrate this wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ came to be not only “a” light to the world but “THE” light that would be needed to guide us!
