CHRISTINGLE SERVICE!

During of annual Christingle Service, Mrs Barron, recruited our new Premises Officer Andy to explaind to the children and parents the meaning of a Christingle.

Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:

The orange represents the world
The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.

The light from the candles create a warm, magical glow symbolising the light of Christ and bringing hope to people living in darkness.

We think Andy did a great job!
