Join us at Helme Church for our Christingle Service to help get you in the mood for Christmas.
An atmospheric and joyful occasion for all ages on Saturday 21st December – 4pm. Christingle is a candle-lit, festive celebration that’s perfect for bringing families and communities together.
The celebration is named after the Christingles that are lit during the celebration. Christingles are made from an orange decorated with red tape, sweets and a candle.
The event will support the Children’s Society working to help children and young people in the darkest situations imaginable. Join over one million people sharing the light of Christingle.
Last year more than 6,000 celebrations raised almost £1.3 million to light up the lives of children and young people between the ages of 10 and 18.
