3/1/2020

1 Comment

 
We were blessed this year to welcome and bless Lauren Dooley and her family from Ireland during the Christingle service in St Anne's. This special Christmas service uses as a decorated orange as a symbol of the world we live in that has been so influence by the light of Christ which is seen in the lit candles that are part of the Christingle that the children create during the service. To be a little pc these days we thread dried fruit to the cocktail sticks rather than sweet lollies. Otherwise the image below describes what a Christingle is.

Christmas Eve Christingle Service in St Anne's

December 24th at 6pm
Families' Christmas Eve in St Anne's, Porirua

PictureA MODERN CHRISTINGLE.
The Christingle has its origins in a Moravian children's service held in a castle in Germany on Christmas Eve in 1747. The bishop conducting the informal service gave each child a  lighted candle, tied with a red ribbon, in memory of the Saviour's coming which he said has kindled a flame in each heart which keeps burning "to His joy, and our happiness".

Over the years the Christingle Service has developed to what we will offer this year in St Anne's. Come and sing a few Christmas carols, make your Christingle and light it, learn what it means, hear the prayer and eat and drink some goodies before you leave about 7pm.
