Christmas in Melbourne: Christmas Carols
I was listening to my radio station the other morning and Susie was talking about the history of the Christmas Carol events that are now held worldwide. It all started with a man seeing a lonely woman in a window singing a carol in the light of a candle and he decided to bring people together for the purpose of fellowship and sharing songs. What a lovely way for this tradition to start off.
At Bayside Church our annual carolling event has grown to 3 performances, with one of those being a matinee event on a Saturday afternoon specially for children. There’s always lots of fun, colour, laughter, beautiful song and music. I have been a member of the choir in the past but family events changed my being involved this year, perhaps next year instead.
If you are in Melbourne, then why not click on the link above to find out about the times and place of the Christmas Carols event and come along – I promise you will have a great time. It’s nothing like traditional churches and we have this saying ‘Church has changed, check it out!’
Sounds like a lovely event and a very special way to honor and celebrate Christmas! Thanks for sharing.
Our church used to have an annual Christmas concert but I’m not sure why we no longer do it.BR/BR/I love hearing our choir sing Christmas carols. I’m sure they’ll be singing some on Sunday.
I love carolling. Our church has a Christmas concert each year. Plus the member of the Worship and Music ministries get together one Saturday to go carolling at nursing homes and such. It’s so much fun. Everyone joins in the singing and fellowship. Thanks for sharing your carolling event. It sounds wonderful.
This is very interesting to know since I take photographs for events all the timeBR/BR/Thanks!
I remember when I was in the Calvinettes as a girl, we’d go caroling. We had so much fun! What memories.
