Blue Christmas Service This is a gentle service for those who are carrying pain or loss a this time of year. Christingle Christingles are oranges which have a candle and fruit placed around them symbolising God's world, the light of Christ and the fruits of the earth. This service, suitable for all ages, is a great start to Christmas. Bee Church Crib Service A very informal short service for toddlers and young children. We tell the story of Christmas sing carols and children create the crib scene. [About 30 minutes] Midnight Eucharist/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 Eucharist is a traditional service for Christmas Eve. |
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.
