3 Points of Focus for the Christmas Production Season

The Christmas season often intensifies preparations for church music ministries. This busy time can be rewarding or stressful. Keeping focus on a few key areas can help make it a positive experience.

Second, show love to team members and their families by organizing efficient rehearsals. Minimize disruptions to other responsibilities and leave time for breathing. Be willing to cancel if needed. People will appreciate your care for their well-being.
