Christingle Service

Join us to make Christingles in the church centre followed by a short but joyous and bright celebration in church. Don't miss the magical moment when we each light the candles in the centre of our very own Christingles.

Christingles are made using oranges, red ribbon, sweets and dried fruits and a candle. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:

The orange represents the world
The red ribbon symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.

St Philip & St James, Hucclecote

We are an Anglican Church sharing the good news of Jesus and seeking to serve our local community, in Hucclecote, Gloucester.

All are welcome, whoever you are, whatever your age, and wherever you are on life’s spiritual journey. We believe the central message of the Bible is the amazing love of God for us expressed in the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus who came that we might ‘have life, and have it to the full (the Bible).’ We believe God speaks to us as we open up the Bible. There we encounter his living presence and discover meaning, strength and purpose in life.
