SCHOOL CHRISTINGLE SERVICE

Wigginton Tring, HP23 6DZ, United Kingdom
Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope.
Christingle celebrations are named after the Christingles that are lit during the ceremony. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with dried fruit or sweets, with a candle on the top.
Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:

The orange represents the world
The red ribbon (or tape) 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 Bartholomew

St. Bartholomews has long been a place of welcome and hospitality where people have worshipped and visited us for nearly 1000 years
Today we continue to offer a welcome to many not only from our village but surrounding areas too We offer diverse opportunities for worship, prayer and learning, the strong sense of community we seek to foster - or for many other reasons. Our vision is to be a church that is– welcoming all, celebrating life, sharing the journey with those around us. If you would like to join us for any of our services or midweek activities, we hope you will feel at home, make new friends, and most important of all, be enabled to grow in friendship with God.
