Christmas

We’ve got a bunch of events and Christmas services, all celebrating Jesus’ birthday. If you don’t get to Church very often, that’s okay! Everyone’s always welcome at St John’s.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our Christmas services are celebrations of the birth of Jesus Christ. Like all our services, Christmas at St John’s will include friends, music, practical teaching from the bible, and a fun and safe environment for kids.

Community Carols

Our Community Carols are a special time for the whole community to come together and celebrate the joy of Christmas through singing carols. This year, we’ll be gathering at Coventry Oval in Diamond Creek on the 15th of December. The main carols band performance will start at 7pm, but from 5:30pm, there will be plenty of fun for all, including an animal farm, face painting, sausage sizzle, food trucks and performances from local community groups. Bring a friend or make a new one there! Follow the link below for our Carols Event page.
