Join us to make Christingles in the church centre followed by a short but joyous and bright celebration in church. Don't miss the magical moment when we each light the candles in the centre of our very own Christingles.
This is a free event with materials provided and no booking required. But donations are welcome towards the support of our Mission Partner, Revd Helen Champion, Gloucester City Deanery Youth Connector.
Christingles are made using oranges, red ribbon, sweets and dried fruits and a candle. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:
The orange represents the world
The red ribbon symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.
