Christingle Service

for 1 hour
St James Voorschoten
The British School - Senior School Jan van Hooflaan 3 Voorschoten, 2252BG, Netherlands
Christingles are made up of different parts, each one being there to remind us of something. The orange represents the world. The candle reminds Christians Jesus is the light of the world. The red ribbon, being the colour of blood, reminds Christians that Jesus died. The fruits and sweets on the sticks represents God's provision.

St James Voorschoten

We are a vibrant international English-speaking Anglican church serving the Leiden area, offering a spiritual home to people of all ages and from all over the world.

Our main Sunday service is usually held at 10.30am at the BSN (British School in The Netherlands) Senior School in Voorschoten. However, sometimes the school is unavailable and we relocate to an alternative venue. Please keep an eye on www.stjames.nl for up to date information.
