Christmas songs of Hope

FOR most people Christmas is a time for family, friends and festivities. But for some, Christmas is just another cruel reminder for those who endured a tough year.
Luckily, the Hope Christian Centre, in collaboration with the Life Community Church, will raise the spirits of many this holiday season, by presenting one of the first Carols by Candlelight of the season.
Complete with children’s entertainment and live performances from community groups, Carols by Candlelight aims to bring a sense of belonging back to the community.
The church has also organised a sausage sizzle, children’s rides and a visit by Santa.
Plus, this year the event will relocate from its usual Courteney Gardens venue, to the more spacious Lawson Pool Reserve in Cranbourne North. On average the event attracts around 1000 people from the area.
Carols by Candlelight is a free event, which will be held on Saturday 5 December commencing at 5pm, with the traditional carols commencing at 7pm.
