ADVENT 2 - CHRISTINGLE

for 1 hour
St Peters Church Monks Eleigh
Church Hill Monks Eleigh Ipwich, IP7 7LG, United Kingdom

Our Christingle Service will take place at Monks Eleigh Church on 7th December 2025 at 10.15am.
This is always a fun service where we reflect on Christ's coming into the world by making a Christingle candle using an orange, a candle, some sweets and nuts and red ribbon. It is fun making them up as we go along. We will have an opportunity to light them.
Everyone will be given a pack for making them at the beginning of the service.
This will also be a service of Holy Communion and refreshments will be served afterwards.
