CHRISTINGLE Service 4pm

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son." John 3.16

A Christingle comprises of an orange, cocktail sticks, sweets, red tape and a candle. It's a special way of remembering God's love for us at Christmas time, and the gift of Jesus to the world. Carols, oranges, sweets, and candlelight - it doesn't get more Christmassy than that.

As our Christingle Services have been popular in previous years, there will be limited spaces via a ticket system. We also are doing two services, 2pm and 4pm - so hopefully there will be space for as many people as possible safely.

Tickets are completely free, but we ask all who attend to consider donating to the good work of St Peter's. Contactless readers will be available during the service. You can Gift Aid your donations if applicable.

If you can't make your booking, please do cancel and release tickets for others to get the opportunity to attend.
