Planning your Christingle celebration
Whether you're planning a virtual Christingle or a Christingle service in person, we'll help you celebrate and spread the message of joy and hope for this country's young people.
Planning your Christingle celebration
One of the best things about a Christingle celebration is that, even if you've never held one before, you can tailor the service so that it works best for your church, school or group.
You decide if you want to Christingle in person, online, or hold a mixture of both. Last year, to help keep their communities safe, a few innovative Christinglers held doorstep services and we even saw a drive through celebration!
We've made it easy to organise a service, bringing communities up and down the country together to help vulnerable young people. Here are some step-by-step tips to help you plan your celebration:
Planning your Christingle celebration
- Get the date in your diary
Christingle services usually take place between Advent (four weeks before Christmas) and Candlemas (2 February), with Christmas Eve being the most popular time to celebrate.
- Decide what kind of event you're going to hold
You might want to start thinking about the type of service you're going to hold. Whether you chose to celebrate in person, go virtual or do a bit fo both, just know we'll be here to support you every step of the way.
