Christmas Eve is one of the most attended services of the year, giving pastors a unique opportunity to clearly and creatively communicate the Gospel. It’s a special opportunity when guests and regular members come with expectant hearts. Here are seven tips to help your church be known for something impactful: presenting the timeless Gospel message of Jesus in a fresh, memorable way:

2. Speak to the wound
