Everyone welcome. A celebration of God's love for the world where we will be lighting Christingles, hearing the Christmas story and singing hymns and carols. You will be given a Christingle as you arrive. A Christingle is an orange that is decorated with a candle, four cocktail sticks containing sweets or dried fruit and a red ribbon. The orange represents the world. The ribbon represents God's love wrapped around the world and it is red as a reminder of Jesus' blood, which was shed for everyone. The sweets are representations of God's creations and as there are four sets of them they can represent the four seasons. The candle represents Jesus himself bringing light and hope to our dark world.
