| Christingle |
This Sunday, being the first sunday in the month combined our Family Eucharist, with the Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple or Candlemas, and our Christingle celebration. The Junior Choir sang 'This Little Light of Mine' and the Christingle Hymn while the christingles were lit and distributed.The story of the presentation by Mary of her son Jesus, in the Temple and Simeon's prediction of his future was told. The Choir sang 'When Mary to the Temple went' words translated from the German by J Troutbeck, music by Johannes Eccard (1553-1611). The christingles were taken home to be lit again, and of course for the sweets to be eaten.
