A service for families with the children taking an active part. We learn what we mean when we say Jesus is the Light of the World, using oranges, sweets on cocktail sticks and candles. Children may get sticky, adults worry that children may set fire to each other and it is a great way to mark the end of the long countdown and feel Christmas has really arrived. During the service the children will help to put all the figures into the crib
