Village Advent Celebrations 2018. December 2nd. Christingle Children’s Service at the Church

The idea of a Christingle service came originally from the Moravian Church in 1747 as a symbol of Christ’s light and love. The Children’s Society introduced it to the Church of England in 1986, and it has since become a popular service for all ages. This was the twenty-ninth service in the Church of St James the Less in Sulgrave. All money collected goes to the good work of the Children’s Society with the least fortunate of today’s young people. See the next page for more photographs of the children receiving the oranges with lighted candles….

    Such fond memories but no Christingle will ever match the year Robbie Oakley set fire to himself!

    So sorry to have missed the service, the giant orange looks magnificent.
