the Wykeham benefice

Numbers are limited to 40 attendees in the church, so this will be a ticketed event. To book places, please call Isabel on 788 886 or 07989 968 736, places allocated on a first-come first-served basis. We ask that, if possible, only one parent/carer to attend per family, however, a second parent/carer is OF COURSE welcome if that’s helpful when supervising your children with lit Christingles.

Please can we also ask that face coverings are worn in church by all those 11yrs and over.

PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CHRISTINGLE!

Making one is easy, you’ll need:

• 1 orange
• 1 candle (with a little bit of foil)
• A bit of ribbon
• Sweets or raisins on cocktail sticks!

If you need ribbon or candles, please say when booking and I can deliver these to you, no problem!

The collection will be in aid of the Children’s Society.

(Covid 19 restrictions permitting). For hygiene requirements please make your own Christingle to bring it to the service. The service is outside, weather permitting.

Our Crib will be placed in the porch and our Christmas Tree will be just outside the porch doors this year for all to see. A porch door will be left open for you to visit the crib.

In place of the usual traditional carol service, we are planning a family carol service, and as the congregation are unable to sing we will have a small choir of six; videos, readings and music.

Once again numbers will be limited. To reserve seats for a family group (up to 6), please email church@thesibfords.uk

PLEASE COULD WE HAVE POLLY BOXES IN CHURCH BY THE 16th.  It would be good to be able to show the efforts that have been made with love and care at this service.
