Family Christingle Service

for 1 hour
St Andrew's Kinson
Millhams Road Kinson Bournemouth, BH10 7LN, United Kingdom
In 1968, John Pensom of The Children's Society, brought Christingle to this country and introduced it to the Church of England. This involved children decorating an orange with a red ribbon, dried fruits, sweets and a candle to create a new visual representation of Christ, the light of the world, celebrated by the lighting of the Christingle candles.  During today's Family worship the children will have the chance to make their own Christingle, we will light them and sing as we celebrate the coming of God in Jesus. Please join us for refreshments after the service.
