Christingle Service

for 1 hour
St Clement's Church Oxford
Marston Road Oxford, OX4 1FN, United Kingdom
In our Christingle Service, for all ages, each person takes a Christingle and their candles are all lit, symbolising the light of Christ and bringing hope to those living in darkness.

Christingles are made using oranges and a few other bits, as you choose. 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, who is the light of the world.

St Clement's Church Oxford

We are a diverse community of worshippers, meeting in our Church building on Marston Road in the heart of east Oxford every Sunday at 1030 and 1830. All of what we do and what we believe is inspired by our faith in Jesus Christ.
