Christingle Sunday 4th December

Our Christingle Service is this Sunday at 10:45.
Suitable for all ages - come along and join the celebrations.






The Children’s Society first introduced Christingle to The Church of England in 1968, and it has since become one of the most popular events for families and communities in the church calendar.



Symbolism 

  • The orange – represents the world
  • The red ribbon – indicates the love and blood of Christ
  • The dried fruits and sweets – symbols of God’s creations
  • The lit candle – symbolises Jesus, the light of the world




We will be collecting Gifts and Food  during the Service.  Please consider bringing a gift (NEW, unwrapped, for any age – baby to adult) and/or non-perishable Christmas food items to help local Families in need.
We will also be collecting the Children's Society Candle collecting boxes.
