Umina Uniting Church Community Carols will return this year after a COVID-induced hiatus.
The carols will be held at the church in Neptune St from 5pm on Friday, December 22.
A spokesperson said this year’s event promised to be grander, featuring a Christmas Mini Market along with the carols.
“Embracing the spirit of community, local Scout groups will host a barbecue, food vendors will tantalise taste buds and Christmas shoppers can explore the wares of enthusiastic local storeholders,” the spokesperson said.
“The a cappella group MsBehavin’ will lead the carols, and there’s a chance Santa might drop in.
“Families are encouraged to bring their own chairs to be comfortable during this alcohol-and-drug-free event.
“With battery-operated candles available for purchase, the event encourages everyone to come together, enjoy the carols and relax in the joy of the season.
“A gold coin donation would be appreciated to help cover costs.”
