Here is an example of a simple element we created for Christmas last year. This was one of the most memorable moments in our service last year and it was probably the easiest element we did.
On another note, in the next few posts I will be making an exciting announcement about a partnership FC will be making to provide our media as a resource for churches globally. We currently provide many of our videos and graphics on creativepastors.com, so if you are looking for some Christmas elements like this one- head on over.
What simple but memorable moments have you had in your Christmas Services?

Our Christmas series this year is "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!" based on the Christmas Story movie. We even have a 10 ft. tall leg lamp on our stage and are giving out decoder rings. It's all about how what we want isn't always what is right for us. Good reminder during the commercial Christmas season. Check out pics of the leg lamp at www.fairoaksarts.com

Pace,
I came to your services last year and loved the version of Joy To The World you did at the end of service. Did you guys arrange that yourself or rip it from someone? I've looked online to see a video so I can remember it but can't find anything. If I recall correctly, it sounded like a Jackson 5 beat? Could you help me out?

You are right. So simple. So powerful.
I hope it's OK that I embedded this on my wife's and my site.

Absolutely amazing! I agree with Rachel, it catches your attention because it is NOT expected.
But when the video "repents", the message is SO clear.
Speaking of this video, I didn't see it available over at creativepastors.com. Did I miss it or will it be available at some point? This would be an excellent resource this Christmas.
Thanks for all your great posts.

I was at FC last year on Christmas Eve. I must say that video had me confused when it first started but left me speechless. That service was absolutely AMAZING! Candles, Choir and Snow.....It was defiantly on a "Hole Notha Level"

This is awesome. It definitely catches the attention of people because it's not something you would EXPECT to be told at church. Nice!

Love it man. I like how the leading on the text at the end tightens and almost forces your eye to start reading back up the list before the dialog prompt.
