The Brimbank Presbyterian Church congregation are warming up their vocal chords ahead of the church’s annual Christmas carols service.

This year’s event holds special significance, celebrating 20 years of spreading joy, fostering community spirit, and honouring the timeless traditions of Christmas.

Pastor Daniel Dixon shared that the carols service has become a beloved highlight for the community.

“Our Christmas carols service offers a wonderful chance to come together and celebrate the season. There will be plenty of carol singing, a special children’s segment, and reflections on the true meaning of Christmas,” he said.

“As December begins, life often gets busier –shops are crowded, schedules are packed, and holiday preparations are in full swing. It’s a joyful yet hectic period.

“Our carols service offers a chance to pause, reflect, and celebrate the true essence of Christmas.

“The first Christmas was a powerful demonstration of God’s love through the birth of his son. We love commemorating this by singing carols together.”

He invited all members of the community to join the celebration and experience the true spirit of the season.

The carols service will be held at 10am on Saturday, December 14, at the Sydenham Neighbourhood House, 1 Station Street, Watergardens Shopping Centre.

Additionally, the church will host a Christmas Eve service on Tuesday, December 24 at 10am and a Christmas Day service on Wednesday, December 25 at 9.30am.
