Christmas Eve

This service is a joyful celebration of Christingle and the end of the “posada”
Christingle – the celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top.
Posada - Our statues of Mary and Joseph have been on a journey round the village seeking shelter during Advent and we look forward to welcoming them to the church.
At this service we take a collection in aid of the Children’s Society
