Christingle
Friday 19th December at 3:30pm
This year’s All Saints’ Christingle will be extra special. It will start with a Nativity trail in the school forest at around 3:35pm – the last day of term.
If you are at All Saints’ school pick up your children as normal and then head towards the outdoor classroom. If you are somewhere else make your way there and enter by the carpark gates.
After the trail. the wise men will then lead you over to church for a hot chocolate and then when all have arrived a short Christingle service will follow – in aid of the children’s Society.
If you can help with Christingle making after the community lunch, please let Toby or Sarah know.

One way of keeping Advents special for children is to have a miniature figures of Mary & Joseph stay at your house on the way to Bethlehem. After going to many families houses they will arrive in church at the Crib Service on Christmas Eve.

Booklets are now available at the back of church or you can follow them on the ‘Fruitful App’, which can be downloaded from your usual App store.
