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 1968, and it has since become a popular service for all ages. It has featured as a Christmas Service in the Church of St James the Less, Sulgrave, for over thirty years.

A novel use for the car boot, parked outside Lyndhurst.

No 6 was off Little Street. A lovely window from Holly and Dean, and the house looked amazing. Well done to you both and Jackson for your part too. Great to hear that the kids have got involved. The back of the car looked great too, the hot chocolate station and warm sausage rolls definitely warmed us all up. Thank you.
The next 3 nights are non gathering. 7 being Christingle. 8 and 9 are non gatherings. Photos to follow. Please do go along and have a look. Our next gathering is 10th in Church Street. Hope to see you there.
