A festive celebration

Christingle services bring together family and friends of all ages. Held from Advent to Epiphany, this festive celebration communicates the Christian message in an inspiring way to adults and children alike. Its wide appeal makes it an ideal way to encourage newcomers to church, particularly children, and extend your congregation.

Jesus, the Light of the World

Every year for the last four years, our resources have taken on the theme of one of the four components of the Christingle; The orange, representing the world, the red ribbon symbolising the Blood of Christ, the four cocktail sticks with sweets and fruit to illustrate God's gifts and the four seasons. This year we focus on the final theme, the candle, representing Jesus the Light of the World.

Making a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children

Through your Christingle you will be raising vital funds to support our vital work with children whose childhoods have been stolen; children forced to run away from home or care who may find themselves sleeping on the streets this winter; young refugees fleeing conflict and war; those caught in a cycle of crime and detention; or children marginalised through disability. 

Any money raised through Christingle will help improve the childhood of thousands of children such as these.
