Christingle Workshop and Crib Service

for 2 hours
St Gluvias Church
Church Hill Penryn Falmouth, TR10 8AJ, United Kingdom
Christingle:
Christingle services use a special symbol, a decorated orange, (pictured), to explore the story of God’s love for the world at Christmas.

The orange represents the world
The fruits or sweets represent God’s creation and the blessings of the seasons
The candle represents Jesus, the light of the world bringing hope to those in darkness.
The red ribbon round the orange represents the love of God and the blood of Jesus.

Crib service:
During this short service, children will be encouraged to help tell the Christmas story, by bringing the nativity figures to the crib and arranging them around the manger.

There will be a collection in aid of the Children’s Society – you can read more about the work of the Children’s Society and the meaning of the Christingle.

St Gluvias Church

An Anglican place of worship in Penryn for over 700 years

We seek to worship God and to grow in faith, serving the people of the parish of St. Gluvias with Penryn – and the wider world – in the name of Jesus Christ. The church is open on Sunday and Tuesday morning’s for mass, however arrangements can be made for the church to be opened at other occasions for visitors to the area. The church also welcomes bell ringers to their practice sessions (Wednesday evenings) or on a Sunday ahead of mass.

On occasions when events and concerts are held in church, these will be publicised.
