Christmas Eve combined Crib and Christingle service

for 1 hour
Holy Cross Church, Hornchurch
Park Lane Hornchurch, RM11 1PX, United Kingdom
Come along and join us for this special service.
We'll begin with the Crib Service during which we will sing some well-known Christmas carols and ask the children to place the figures of the different characters into the Nativity Scene.
Then we'll celebrate Christingles with the giving out of the oranges and acknowledging Jesus as the Light of the World!
All ages welcome.
Let the children come dressed as characters from the Christmas story (i.e. Mary or Joseph, or even a sheep!)
It's a fun service and a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas for all the family.
