DESCRIPTION:The celebration is named after the Christingles that are lit d
 uring the service. Christingles are made from an orange decorated with red
  tape\, sweets and a candle. With your help\, Christingle raises vital fun
 ds to help children who are facing Christmas alone and are unable to cope.
  Our Christingle celebration is an opportunity to bring our whole communit
 y together\, to share the Christian story and to experience the joy and wo
 nder of this well-loved Christmas tradition.\nEach element of a Christingl
 e has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story: \n• The o
 range represents the world \n• The red ribbon (or tape) symbolises the l
 ove and blood of Christ \n• The sweets and dried fruit represent all of 
 God’s creations \n• The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the w
 orld\, bringing hope to people living in darkness.\nChristingle collection
 s raise millions of pounds for The Children’s Society to support their w
 ork with young people who are experiencing a range of complex issues\, and
  who feel alone. The hope is to bring love to the hearts of children who f
 eel ignored\, sanctuary to the lives of those who feel unsafe\, and peace 
 to the minds of young people who feel like they simply don’t matter. \nT
 hrough Christingle\, you can help give a child their first Christmas free 
 from sadness and fear.
