Which pair of special services is described as evangelistic?

• A. Thanksgiving Day
• B. Rally Sunday
• C. Easter and Christmas
• D. Monthly Communion

Answer: (C)

Special services that are evangelistic focus on outreach to people outside the church and presenting the gospel in a way that invites a response. Easter and Christmas fit this description because they are the seasons with the broadest reach and greatest likelihood of attracting guests who don’t regularly attend. Churches often plan special sermons, music, and outreach activities around these holidays to clearly proclaim the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and invite people to participate in the church community.

Thanksgiving Day services tend to center on gratitude and a national holiday context rather than outreach to non-members. Rally Sunday is about encouraging members to reconnect and begin a new program year, which is more internally focused. Monthly Communion is a regular sacramental practice and not primarily aimed at evangelistic invitation.
