CANTON, Ga. -- Yo! Christmas Eve will be Christmas morning at the Ridge Stone Church.

The Canton church is turning to rap music and the internet to get out the word about the unusual time for its Christmas Eve services.

The pastor and members of Ridge Stone Church cut the video to alert members that Christmas Eve services will actually be on Sunday morning, not Sunday evening.

The church meets in a movie theater and it will be unavailable on Christmas Eve.

So Pastor Gary Lamb donned a pimped out Santa outfit, started rapping and put the whole thing on video. He’s joined by a crew of elves you wouldn’t see in any other rap video.

Lamb loaded the video onto YouTube.com and it began to spread like wildfire.

But not all the response has been positive.

Some internet viewers think the video is racist. Others say it just isn’t in the holiday spirit.

“This is for a church? How is Santa shaking his arse at the camera an appropriate advertisement for a church, exactly?” wrote one critic on the web site.

Others are less harsh.

One viewer wrote, “This video is off da hook.”

The church’s video has been viewed over 6,400 by visitors to YouTube.
