Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings
families and communities together to share
the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope.
Our Christingle service is based around
the story of the nativity, with the opportunity
for everyone to join in.
Every child who attends will be given a Chistingle.
You may be thinking: What does an orange
have to do with Christianity?
The orange symbolises the world,
while the candle is used to represent
Jesus who is the light of the world.
The sweets symbolise all of God’s creations -
although some people say the sweets
symbolise the four seasons.
A red ribbon is tied around the orange to represent God’s love for the world.
This service will not be streamed on Zoom.
Christingle Making Party
In preparation for our popular Christingle Service on Christmas Eve at 5.00 pm in church,
you are invited to help make the Christingle oranges round the Christmas tree
in Hartley Hall at 2.00 pm on Saturday 23rd December.
All are welcome. Come and join the fun.
In advance of the 23rd, we are looking for donations of oranges and small soft sweets.
We plan on making approximately 80 - 100 Christingles.
