Christingle Service (3pm and 5pm)

for 1 hour
St Matthew's Wigmore
Drewery Drive, Wigmore, Gillingham Kent, ME8 0NX, United Kingdom
This service is usually so popular that we have not one, but three Christingle services within the parish over the Christmas period!

Also, check out Family Fun Christingle at St. Paul's on Sunday 1st December.

A family friendly Christmas service exploring the story of God's love for the world and the hope that we can have through Jesus.

During the service we will make our Christingles together - using oranges to represent the world; red ribbon, symbolizing the love and blood of Jesus. Sweets and dried fruit represent all of God's creation and the lit candle represents Jesus's light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.

Everyone is welcome to any of our services. There is a large car park next to the church with the space opposite the church available for those needing assistance. The church and toilet are fully accessible. We have a T loop (but sit nearer the front for best effect.) Our congregation are friendly and will help you find your way around. 

We look forward to seeing you!
