Christingle Workshop and Crib Service – Sun 8 between 2.30pm & 4.30pm

Between 2.30pm & 4.30pm in Church

Christingle:
Christingle services use a special symbol, a decorated orange, (pictured), to explore the story of God’s love for the world at Christmas.

• The orange represents the world
• The fruits or sweets represent God’s creation and the blessings of the seasons
• The candle represents Jesus, the light of the world bringing hope to those in darkness.
• The red ribbon round the orange represents the love of God and the blood of Jesus.

Crib service:
During this short service, children will be encouraged to help tell the Christmas story, by bringing the nativity figures to the crib and arranging them around the manger.

• There will be a collection in aid of the Children’s Society – you can read more about the work of the Children’s Society and the meaning of the Christingle.
