Park Grove Methodist Church

Christingle Service held at
Thistle Hill Care Centre

An informal Christingle service was led by Rev. Gillian Robertson with members of Park Grove Methodist church also present.

There was a good number of the residents at the service where we sang Christmas songs and heard about the Christingle.
The Christingles can be seen in the pictures.

The Orange represents the World and the candle is Jesus - the light of the world.
The red ribbon goes all round the world and reminds us of the blood Jesus shed when he died for us.
The four cocktail sticks could have either of two meanings: the four seasons or the four corners of the world and the sweets (or sometimes dried fruit) remind us of God’s gifts to the world including kindness and love.
