DETAILS:
Join us for our lovely Christingle service for all the family. There is no Sunday school this day.
Children can come to the Church Hall for 1pm to make the christingles ready for the service. A collection will be taken in aid of the Childrens Society.
The celebration is named after the Christingles that are lit during the service.
Christingles are made from an orange decorated with red tape, sweets and a candle.
Christingle services are held in churches, usually between Advent and Candlemas. It is an excellent opportunity for people of all ages to join in, using oranges to create visible symbols of the Christian message.
The Christingle has its origins in a Moravian children's service held in a castle in Germany on Christmas Eve in 1747.
