Is this wrong?

It is not sin IF, the church does not MANDATE attendance for such services, nor officially proclaim that the Christ was born on Dec 25th, nor include any worldly items that have nothing to do with the worship of God and the incarnation of the Son of God. In short, voluntary attendance of a worship service that is typically held but with its focus upon the incarnation is certainly allowed. The RPW does not mandate that Sabbath Worship must ONLY be held on the Lord's Day; the first day of the week and no other day.

But if the church decides to meet regularly outside the Sabbath day for worship, midweek, don't you think Hebrews 10 verse 25 applies to that also?

I also wonder if preachers ought to be selecting their texts and appointing unique annual worship services in the manner of and based on, the fact that the heathens and papists give a certain date on the calendar a superstitious or and perhaps in the case of the heathen, an especially ungodly, significance.
