Thank you to everyone who supported our Parish Christingle this afternoon. We had a lovely turn-out of children and their families. We watched a video about what each part of the Christingle represents before making our own. We moved to the body of the church where they were lit. The children then read some prayers to conclude the afternoon. Thank you to everyone who attended we look forward to seeing you next year.



 

The children took part in the Posada, a Mexican-style celebration that takesplace in the run-up to Christmas. They dressed as nativity characters, learnt the true meaning of a pinata, played games and ate delicious Mexican food (and hot dogs)
