I believe this is called "educating the congregation".  Be sure to keep the 
traditional Christmas carols and hymns in your church service.  And then 
introduce something "new" to their ears.  I remember when MIDI was first 
brought out 
by Rodgers, and many, many people did not want to accept it as "approprate 
music".  Well, times have changed, thanks to musicians who educated their 
people, whether redneck or stiff-collar, that music comes in many forms.  It 
wasn't 
too long ago that country-western was considered to be "hillbilly" stuff!   I 
remind my own congregation that Christmas comes around only once a year, so if 
they hear something they don't like, rest easy folks as it will at least a 
year before they hear it again.....hehehhehhehe.
