Advent & Christmas 2026
Across the Parramatta Nepean Presbytery, our congregations are preparing to celebrate Advent and Christmas — a season of hope, peace, joy and love. Whether church is a regular part of your life, or you’re thinking about coming along for the first time in a while, you’re warmly invited to join us.
Celebrate Christmas in Your Local Community
Advent is the season of waiting and preparation in the weeks leading up to Christmas. At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus and the good news of God’s love for the world.
Across Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains, Uniting Church congregations within the Parramatta Nepean Presbytery will be gathering for carols, Christmas services and community celebrations throughout the season.
Everyone is welcome.
Find a Christmas Service or Event
Below you’ll find Christmas services, Advent and Christmas events, and community outreach taking place across our Presbytery.
Each congregation celebrates Christmas in its own way, but all share the same message of hope, peace, joy and love. Listings are added as congregations confirm their plans, so please check back.
What to Expect at a Christmas Service
If you haven’t been to church in a while, you might be wondering what to expect.
Christmas services often include carols, prayer, readings from the Bible and a message reflecting on the meaning of Christmas today. Many congregations also share time together after the service.
You are welcome to come exactly as you are. There is no expectation to dress a certain way or know what to do — simply come along and be part of the community.
We Would Love to Hear From You
If you’re exploring Christmas services and events and would like some help, we’d be glad to hear from you. Whether you’re unsure which congregation is closest to you, have a question about a service, or simply want to know more, the Presbytery team is here to help.
