Church programmes are important. Especially in larger Churches, for the Church to meet the needs of many people there needs to be carefully planned programmes. It is important however for the Cross and its theme to be presented as more important that the programmes and the Cross to be lived out in the lives of those people planning the programmes as well as the attendees.
