Welcome to the Party, Christmas and Easter Christians

TL;DR

  • Churches often use the term 'Christmas and Easter Christians' for those who attend services only twice a year.
  • Pastors are usually delighted by these infrequent attendees and may adapt their sermons.
  • Regular church members experience mixed feelings, welcoming visitors but also finding their presence disruptive to familiar routines.
  • Disruptions can include unfamiliarity with church protocols and impact on seating arrangements.
