Christingle and Christmas Journey

A time to travel and celebrate light

Today all the children were involved in our Christmas Journey. This involved each class meeting four characters from the Christmas story and hearing their story. Joseph shared his thoughts, Mary her experiences of the first Christmas, Shepherds and kings told their tale and the children reflected on the meaning of all these amazing events.

This was followed in the afternoon by our Christingle services in church. Every child had their own Christingle and our service focused on the symbolism of each aspect of this intriguing creation. A number of candles were lit and we took the time to pray for those in need of comfort and hope this Christmas.
