Wyndham residents will have one last chance for a Christmas get-together prior to the big day itself, with Dreambuilders Church in Hoppers Crossing holding a Family Fun Carols event on Christmas Eve, December 24.
Unlike most Christmas carols events which occur at night, Dreambuilders Family Fun Carols doubles as a morning tea, making it ideal of young children for whom evening events are too late.
“We’ve got a colouring competition for children under 12 and Santa will be there and you can have your photos taken with Santa,” said Dreambuilders Church spokesperson Debra Thompson.
“And of course we’ll be singing carols, a mixture of traditional ones that can be sung along to and some modern versions as well.”
This is the sixth annual carols event Dreambuilders Church has held and Ms Thompson said it provides an opportunity to remind people of the origins of Christmas.
“It is a bit forgotten,“ she said.
“People tend to think of Christmas as Santa and presents. We believe that Jesus came to save lives.”
Along with celebrating the birth of Jesus, the event acts as end of year celebration for participants in the church’s various community, youth group and rehabilitation programs.
“We work with people who feel that their lives are out of control and we do programs that help and support them. It’s about thinking differently and being differently,” Ms Thompson said.
“The people we’ve been working during the year are all invited to attend. Everybody is invited to attend.“
Beginning at 10am, the event will be held in the main auditorium at Dreambuilders Church in Graham Court, Hoppers Crossing.
Entry is free, though bookings are essential.
