Sunday November 26th – 4 pm Christingle
Our Christingle Service this year provides a great start to our advent celebrations. Christingle allows us to share in the story of our faith and to act out that faith in our giving to the Children’s society. There are also oranges loaded up with sweeties to be eaten afterwards. As a special treat this year our vicar is liable to be dressed up as a giant orange/christingle! The service is suitable for all ages.
