On Sunday 18 December, we held our annual Christingle Service, which raises funds to support the work of the Children’s Society.Christingle is a lovely, interactive service: every member of the congregation builds a Christingle - an orange to represent the world, with four cocktail sticks to represent the four corners of the world; on to these sticks are placed sweets to represent God’s provision. A red ribbon is tied round the orange to symbolise Jesus’ sacrifice of himself for our salvation; finally, a candle is placed at the centre to recognise that Jesus is the light of the world, our great hope for all creation.It was a wonderful service, full of joy and camaraderie; and we know that the money that was given will help children in desperate need: so a real ‘win-win’ situation.May your Christmas too be filled with joy and light; and may we all find time to remember the Christ Child who is the very heart of the season.
We are looking for someone of faith, available and keen to work with our existing worship band. We need a person who is familiar with both modern worship songs and traditional hymns, and who can give a good lead in services to a congregation who love to sing.If this sounds like YOU, please contact us via vicar@sbtwavertree.org.uk or leave a message on the church phone (0151 733 4313) and we’ll get back to you.
On a bright October Saturday, a group of our ladies armed with litter pickers and refuse bags took to the streets around our church and picked up every scrap of litter. Our thanks go to this small band of determined eco-warriors for their efforts.
