Christingle Christingles are oranges which have a candle, a red ribbon and fruit placed around them symbolising God's world, the light of Christ, God's love for us and the fruits of the earth. This service, suitable for all ages, is a great start to Christmas. Midnight Mass/Holy Eucharist The Holy Eucharist is the central act of worship of the Christian faith. Christians come together to give thanks over bread and wine in remembrance of Jesus' command. Christian's believe that we receive the bread and wine as the Body and Blood of Christ. Midnight Mass is a traditional service on Christmas Eve where we celebrate the first Eucharist of Christmas. |
Almighty God,
as we prepare with joy
to celebrate the gift of the Christ-child,
embrace the earth with your glory
and be for us a living hope
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
