Celebrate 50 years of Christingle with The Children’s Society

This year marks 50 years since The Children’s Society brought Christingle to this country. For 50 years, Christingle services have helped The Children’s Society to support more than a million children and young people, and a wide range of free resources are now available to help churches, schools and communities to plan a Christingle celebration.

Several digital downloads are offered to help people to put together a Christingle service, with resources including seasonal worship materials suitable for leading a Christingle service at various points during the Christingle season, including Advent Sunday, Christmas Eve, Epiphany and Candlemas. Children’s activities are also available, including a Messy Church Christingle resource.

To find out more about Christingle, or to order these resources, see here or call 0300 300 7000.
