Start Christmas with our Kids Christmas Celebration and enjoy the traditional Christingle. The idea of Christingles came from a Moravian Church in Germany in 1747. The minister, John de Watteville, gave children at the service a lighted candle with a red ribbon around it.
The final prayer of that first service was “Lord Jesus, kindle a flame in these children’s hearts, that theirs like Thine become”.
The custom went around the world with the church. Missionaries brought the Moravian Church to England in the 1700s. In Moravian churches, the Christingle Service is usually held on the Sunday before Christmas or on Christmas Eve.
Come and join us and join in this ancient tradition.
