Christingles are a really fun way to think about God’s love at Christmastime. Join us as we make our own!

Spend an hour making Christmas crafts and a Christingle, then stay for our Carols by Candlelight service at 7:00pm (optional)

All welcome, of any age, but to help us with planning (particularly numbers of oranges!) please let us know if you plan to come via our Contact Page.

‘Christingle’ means ‘Christ Child’. A symbol of Christianity, Christingles are made from an orange decorated with red tape, sweets or dried fruit and a candle. Each of these different elements has a special meaning:

• The orange symbolises the world.
• The red ribbon shows God’s love for the world and the blood of Jesus.
• The sweets/dried fruit represent God’s creations.
• The four cocktail sticks can represent either the four seasons or the four corners of the world.
• The candle represents Jesus being the light of the world, bringing hope to those in darkness
