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.
