25.01.2022 Here's three more sneaky thank you shots. We truly are grateful to God for the weather change and for all of you who came out. Great crowd, great carols and a great expression of our community enjoying it all on the lawn. I'm thankful and proud of the NewLife team who planned it, played it, sang it, and pulled it all together - you guys did an amazing job. Thanks Oran Park - look forward to seeing you all again next year!

25.01.2022 Its Carols day! Despite the forecast heat our team is hard at work preparing to put on another great evening. Come on down from 5:30pm to Gardner Reserve - opposite the churchs multi coloured tower. Look forward to seeing you this afternoon. Stuart (and the Carols team). #oranparkcommunitycarols

23.01.2022 Hey Oran Park we can't wait to see you on the grass at Gardner Reserve this year for our 8th Oran Park Community Carols. So save the date. Tag a friend. And get ready for a great family time, top sausages, loads of free kids activities, and of course, the best local carols. We'll see you on Saturday December 21st. More info to come - like our page to keep in touch. Stuart (and the NewLife Anglican : Oran Park Carols team).

23.01.2022 Hey Oran Park, were not stopping yet! The contingency plan is to hold the Carols on the lawn out the front of our church (NewLife Anglican : Oran Park) which is directly across the road from Gardner Reserve. At this stage weather permitting were planning to have our free kids fun stuff set up, our sound, and amazing Carols. Heres a very clunky video telling you the same thing Question away below, and follow the page to stay in touch - wed love to see you and will do all we can to make the event still happen. Cheers, Stuart (and our whole team).

21.01.2022 We can't wait for Saturday 21st of December to roll around for our 8th annual Oran Park Community Carols. At NewLife Anglican : Oran Park our Carols band is warming up and getting ready for a great night. We're thankful for our wonderful sponsors this year without whom the event couldn't come to you free of charge. Please note that there are two opportunities to support local organisations - the Cobbitty Rural Fire Brigade (who we've supported every year of the Carols will be... there with their trucks) and Turning Point Camden Inc. who you'll be able to support by bringing along a can of food for their community pantry. Bring on the 21st and don't forget to tag a friend you're inviting, Stuart (on behalf of the organising team). Sponsors: Spick & Span Fulton Hogan Oran Park Anglican College @IMB Oran Park and Camden Council

14.01.2022 Let your friends know you are going to #OranParkCommunityCarols this Saturday!

13.01.2022 Well, thats pretty fun. The storm came! Well keep the Carols on tonight in the church - NewLife Anglican : Oran Park. So full Carols and cover band still happening - indoors. We still have great snags and glow things and were just crazy enough to keep the invitation open well start after 5:30pm with from Carols around 7ish.

12.01.2022 Our awesome stage is now up. The grass is drying and we are still all systems go love to see you here in the grounds of NewLife Anglican : Oran Park from 5:30pm.

12.01.2022 One of the joys of our Carols experience is the opportunity to take up a collection for the work of the local Cobbitty Rural Fire Brigade. This year I'm delighted to say that through your generosity together we raised $1300 which will go towards their new training rooms. As well as passing on the thanks of the Brigade I'm reminded to let people know that the Cobbitty Brigade is looking for new members. Can be ladies or gents 18 years or older. Anyone interested can phone Pet...er on mobile 0407 078 075. Thanks again Oran Park, Stuart. #givingback #oranparktown #oranparkcommunitycarols

11.01.2022 Morning Oran Park, Were looking forward to our 8th annual Oran Park Community Carols next Saturday night (Dec 21st) up at Gardner Reserve. As we continue to prepare for the event were aware that some concerns have been raised about the fireworks proposed for the night. Weve been speaking with Deputy Captain of the Cobbitty RFS who will be there on Saturday (unless the local situation demands otherwise). In consultation with them weve come up with a plan to defer approval... to them entirely - and in their absence have none at all. Of course, if theres a total fire ban no fireworks will be launched. If there isnt a total ban on the night *their team* will assess the site and advise us whether they believe we should go ahead or not. So therell only be fireworks if its a safe night to do as determined by our local RFS and professional fireworks providers. All that being said, it should be a great night, heaps of free stuff for the kids to do, great carols, and the opportunity to generously support the RFS as we take up a collection for them - something weve been doing at the carols for the last 7 years straight. And because we often dont have heaps of cash on hand, therell even be an option to add a dollar for the RFS as you tap and go for your sausage or drinks. Weve also prepared a Thank you RFS card that you might like to have your kids colour in before the night so that they can hand it to the RFS at their trucks on the ground. We hope the weather is great and look forward to seeing you there with your family on the rug. Stuart and the Oran Park Community Carols team.

10.01.2022 1 sleep to go :-) We live in the same neighbourhood you do and last night was .. a little damp! The best way to stay up to date with what's happening with the Carols this year is to 'like' the page and stay tuned. Weather permitting we're still planning to go ahead and hope to see you on Gardner reserve tomorrow arvo.

06.01.2022 Hey Carols Facebookers.. just keeping you up to speed. Our Kindy Zoo people have decided for the sake of their animals not to set up this afternoon. Apologies if that's as much a disappointment to your little ones as it is to us - we want what's best for the animals and so we understand their choice. In other news there's a breeze on the field, the climbing wall will be in action and so will the jumping castles and face painting.. and the band sounds great! Look forward to seeing you soon.
