Former co-host and semi-regular guest Bri Gerzevske stops by the Lounge for a holiday visit — and this time, she’s mining her own recent life experience to offer Sarah, Erin, and Rachel her expert “Guide to a Fun and Fabulous Christmas Program at Church.”

Among Bri’s words of wisdom are these key takeaways:

Don’t go it alone! YOU NEED A VILLAGE FOR THIS.

Treat the kids like “professionals.”

Show gratitude by keeping the main thing the main thing.

“Producing a children’s Christmas program is hard work,” Bri says, “but it’s deeply fulfilling. With collaboration, joyful structure, child empowerment, and gratitude, the program becomes meaningful for everyone. True ‘success’ lies not in perfection, but in ministry, community, and shared joy.”

Brianne Gerzevske is a fellow Lutheran lady, LCMS pastor’s wife, and director of managed contributor care for LCMS Mission Advancement. She is a former co-host of The Lutheran Ladies’ Lounge and remains a regular guest and occasional contributor to the program.
