The Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols is a wonderful service, telling the story of the

readings or lessons from Genesis, the prophetic books and the Gospels, interspersed
with the singing of Christmas carols.
Please also stay for a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie to really get into the
Christmas spirit.

Christingle and Nativity event
11:15am at St Mary & All Saints Church, Lambourne
A Christingle is a symbolic object that means 'Christ's light'. It consists of an orange with
a candle held in its centre and a red ribbon around it. Four sticks holding sweets are pierced
into the orange. The orange represents the world, the red ribbon symbolises Christ’s love
and blood, the lit candle represents his light in the world, the four sticks symbolise either
the four points of a compass or the four seasons and the sweets represent all of God’s creations.

Starting at 11.30pm on Christmas Eve, this traditional and reflective Communion Service
gives the opportunity to take a deep breath before plunging into the joy of Christmas Day.
Remembering together the death and resurrection – as well as the birth – of this boy born
