A lovely evening with the first Advent candle being lit and community involvement in a Christingle Service. The children gave a presentation - What is a Christingle ? - and readings, a bible story, a talk from Father Joe and singing preceeded the lighting of the beautifully decorated Christingle candles. All the children with a Christingle stood on or near the stage. As the main lights were dimmed, faces lit only by candlelight, the singing of 'Like a candle flame' gave a wonderful start to the beginning of the Christmas season in an atmosphere of peace and joy. Donations collected in the special candle boxes are for the Children's Society.
