Christmas and Easter

[[email protected]]

Hello, I am wondering if any Reformed believers in the Seattle area do NOT celebrate Christmas and Easter? I'd sure like to know of others in my area who share that conviction.
Thanks!

There is an RPCNA church in Seattle. Seattle RPC | Home.

Not sure if you have visited them before. The conviction not to celebrate Christmas and Easter is still alive in many parts of our denomination, though not very consistently, and varies from church to church. You may find some there who do not celebrate. It's something I'd like to see brought back to a level of consistency denomination wide, given our views on worship.

Other than that, I have no idea

I checked recently and the sermon given nearest December 25 is labeled as pertaining to Christmas at the Seattle RPC.

Perhaps we should have a close season here - No mention of Christmas till cubbing starts?

What is cubbing? I was listening to Christmas music the other day. Praetorious. Gorgeous stuff.

This question got me to wondering about Mr Hicks. It seems to call for one of his responses, but I don't recall seeing him recently.

Start of the fox hunting season - early September. Sorry - I try to avoid being over English on the PB.

Always looking for like-minded brethren
I'm new to my area and that's important to me. Better start earlier than later, in my book!
