Byron Carols by the Sea

09/11/2022

This year we’re doing acoustic carols in the park with YWAM’s pan and chai.

The date is Thursday December 15 5-8pm.

Not quite the Carols by the Sea we did for 14 years, but should ve a very sweet night all the same. Bring your blankets and chairs. And candles!

Some news of events in Byron for Christmas!

Firstly, we’re sad to have to report there will be NO Carols by the Sea this year.
Covid restrictions have made it tricky for the churches …. with booking the park, the stage and artists.
Also our creative and musical director for the past 14 years is moving away this week, and our main fundraising and promotions person moved away in May this year! The 2 key people to make things happen are gone.
HOWEVER!
Ywam are doing “Pan and Chai” in the park every Thursday evening now with live music and they are going to make it a Christmas feel 🎄🤶
Whether it’s in apex park or railway park depends on the prevailing winds.
It’s from 5:30pm. Ywam then become red frogs later in the evening to help with schoolies. This is late this year due to the HSC being pushed back a month due to Sydney’s long lockdown.
They haven’t made a big deal about it because there’s a lot of hesitancy in folk to be in byron when all the schoolies are in town.

Hope you can all make it one of these nights. They’ll be sweet as!

Well, they can cancel lots of things, but they can't cancel Christmas! Thank God for the sheer wonder of Christmas!
Christmas in our hearts and minds is the antidote for all the challenges this year has brought. As we all know, it's what's on the inside that counts, and we pray that your hearts will be full of divine love, joy and peace this Christmas and in the coming year!

Merry Christmas!!

For those who haven't seen the Carols online yet, you can watch until January! Get the candles out!

Hooray for this amazing team who got together and made a Carols event online for the people of Byron Bay shire, hosted by our local high school chaplain, Pau...

We had too much fun putting this years online Byron Carols together! We have a great band and singers as usual, a couple of wonderful guest artists, and Byron Public School and Hinterland Christian College sent along a few of their most wonderful singers, as well as our delightful MC Paul Dent and some beautiful stop-motions created just for the Carols!

Get together with your peeps, grab some snacks and drinks and don't forget the candles! and get ready to SING!

See you all tonight!!!! 7pm! http://www.byroncarols.com.au

Hi beautiful folk of Byron Bay and beyond! What a year it has been.

No decisions have been made about how we are going to do Carols 2020 yet, but pretty sure we won't all be gathering in the park for a huge time together as usual. A few ideas still being floated, but keep an eye on this page, and at some point along the way, we will let you know what we are planning.

Have been praying that every single one of our Carols lovers have kept well and safe during these difficult times, and we're sending our love to those who've done it pretty tough. Things are gonna get brighter, we know they are.

The Spirit of Christmas is a powerful and beautiful thing in our community and we want to bring it to Byron again - in whatever iteration that may be!
🙏🌟❤️🌟🙏
