What a night! This past weekend, Gymea Anglican hosted Carols in the Car Park, and it was an absolute joy to see so many of our community come together for an evening of celebration, music, and the hope and peace of Christmas.
A Community United
There’s something truly special about seeing people from all walks of life gather under the stars to sing familiar carols and hear the timeless story of Jesus’ birth. In a world that often feels chaotic and uncertain, Christmas reminds us of a peace that surpasses understanding - a peace that only Jesus can bring.
We’re so grateful for the privilege of serving the Gymea community. Events like Carols in the Car Park are a tangible expression of our love for Gymea and our desire to share the joy and hope of the season. It was great to see so many familiar faces, along with plenty of new ones, join us for the evening.
Thank You to Our Amazing Team
Of course, an event like this doesn’t happen without a lot of people behind the scenes. While I can’t name everyone, there are a few key people who deserve special recognition:
• Renae, who led the event planning with incredible skill and grace, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
• Our incredible music team, who put so much time and heart into rehearsals to bring the carols to life.
• The tech team, who managed everything from sound to lighting to create such a professional and welcoming atmosphere.
• The catering crew, who kept everyone well-fed and made sure the night felt warm and hospitable.
To each and every volunteer who contributed - whether it was setting up chairs, managing car parks, or welcoming guests - you made this night unforgettable.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on this year’s event, we’re already excited about what’s to come in 2025! Seeing the Gymea community come together is so very very cool!
At its heart, Christmas is a story of God’s love for the world. It’s about light breaking into darkness, peace overcoming chaos, and a promise of hope that never fades. That’s the message we love to share with Gymea, not just at Christmas, but all year round.
Thank you for being part of such a special evening. We’re so grateful for this community, and it’s our joy and privilege to serve you.
Wishing you all a peaceful and joy-filled Christmas,
David Fell
