Church at the Heart of the Community
Welcome to the Parish of Wargrave with Knowl Hill
Follow the Star and Shine the Light
Join us for a joyful and colourful Christingle Service at 10:00am in St Mary's, an All Age Communion where everyone is welcome! Together, we will celebrate Jesus as the Light of the World, shining in our lives and in our community.
This year, children in Fun & Faith (Primary School Age) will have the exciting opportunity to make their own Christingles, which they will bring back to the service. As we hand out Christingles to everyone, we will light them together, celebrating God's light, love, and life for the world.
With glowing candles, bright oranges, sweets, and ribbons, Christingle reminds us that God's love reaches everyone, and that Christ's light brings hope, love, and joy to all people.
Come as a family, bring friends, and come ready to worship, wonder, and share Communion together as one church family. Expect warmth, laughter, and a real sense of joy as we gather around Christ's table.
We look forward to welcoming you for this special service full of light, life, and hope. ✨🍊🕯️
