Chain Retailer Honors Christianity
Hobby Lobby, a prominent arts and crafts retailer deeply rooted in faith, continues its tradition of spreading a Christmas message through newspapers nationwide, a practice upheld for nearly three decades.
In this year’s display, Hobby Lobby’s advertisement portrays a serene depiction of the Nativity scene. The ad prominently showcases the message “Glory to the Newborn King,” accompanied by an image portraying baby Jesus lying in a manger, watched over by a lamb. The scene is adorned with a shining star in Bethlehem’s night sky. Additionally, a verse from Isaiah 9:6 exclaims attributes of Jesus Christ: “And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
The publication of this ad spans towns where Hobby Lobby stores are present, as the company aims to convey the true essence of Christmas and the pivotal significance of Jesus Christ’s birth in human history. Embracing social media, the retailer extends the reach of these hopeful messages to a wider audience, expressing gratitude for the increased visibility and sharing across platforms.
Moreover, Hobby Lobby aligns its Christmas message with a collaborative effort alongside Need Him Ministry. The ad extends an invitation to those seeking a relationship with Jesus as their Lord and Savior, directing them to the chataboutjesus.com website. Furthermore, the retailer offers free access to Bibles on mobile devices via mardel.com/bible, with details about both resources provided at the ad’s conclusion.
The company’s tradition of disseminating holiday messages through newspapers traces back to 1995 when founder David Green felt a divine calling to share the authentic significance of Christmas and Easter. This commitment led to the creation of the first newspaper ad in 1996, emphasizing the profound importance of connecting with Jesus during the holiday season.
Hobby Lobby’s dedication to spreading these messages is evident through its online platform, where past and present holiday messages, including those for Easter, Christmas, and Independence Day, are accessible. Visitors can download these messages as PDFs, share them via email, or distribute them across social media platforms like Pinterest, Facebook, or Twitter.
With a store presence in over 1,000 locations across the contiguous 48 U.S. states, Hobby Lobby maintains its commitment to its mission, driven by principles rooted in honoring the Lord, ensuring a return on investment, sharing blessings with employees, and contributing to the community. As a testament to its faith-driven values, Hobby Lobby observes the closure of all its stores on Sundays.
