4:00pm Christingle Service

Welcome and Opening Prayer:

Grace, mercy and peace

from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ

be with you. And also with you.

Christ has brought us out of darkness

to live in his marvellous light.

This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Hymn

1. Hark! the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King,

peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.

Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies;

with the angelic host proclaim, ‘Christ is born in Bethlehem.’

Hark, the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King.

2. Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord,

late in time behold him come, offspring of a Virgin's womb!

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see: Hail, the incarnate Deity,

pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.

Hark, the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King.

3. Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings,

risen with healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by,

born that man no more may die, born to raise the sons of earth,

born to give them second birth. Hark, the herald angels sing glory to the new-born King.

4

Confession

We come to God to say sorry

Lord we have done wrong in thought, word and deed,

We are truly sorry and we ask you to forgive us

Help us by your Holy Spirit to live a new life. Amen

May Almighty God have mercy on us,

forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen

Bible Reading and Talk – John 1.1-5

Theme(s): Light; darkness; God’s word

In the beginning the Word already existed; the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

From the very beginning the Word was with God. Through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him.

The Word was the source of life, and this life brought light to humanity.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never put it out.

Hymn

1. It's rounded like an orange, this earth on which we stand;

and we praise the God who holds it in the hollow of his hand.

So, Father, we would thank you

for all that you have done, and for all that you have given us

through the coming of your Son.

2. A candle, burning brightly, can cheer the darkest night,

and these candles tell how Jesus came to bring a dark world light.

3. The ribbon round the orange reminds us of the cost;

how the Shepherd, strong and gentle, gave his life to save the lost.

4. Four seasons with their harvest

supply the food we need, and the Spirit gives a harvest

that can make us rich indeed.

5. We come with our Christingles to tell of Jesus' birth,

and we praise the God who blessed us by his coming to this earth.

5

Activity Time

Making and Lighting of Christingles

Further thinking time for considering the meaning of your lighted Christingle

Hymn

1. Like a candle flame, flickering small in our darkness,

uncreated light shines through infant eyes.

God is with us, alleluia,

come to save us, alleluia.

2. Stars and angels sing, yet the earth sleeps in shadows;

can this tiny spark set a world on fire?

3. Yet his light shall shine

from our lives, Spirit blazing, as we touch the flame

of his holy fire.

Prayers

The Lord’s Prayer

As Jesus taught us to pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

6

Hymn

1. Lord, the light of your love is shining in the midst of the darkness, shining;

Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us, set us free by the truth you now bring us,

shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory;

blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire.

Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy;

send forth your word, Lord, and let there be light.

2. Lord, I come to your awesome presence, from the shadows into your radiance;

by the blood I may enter your brightness, search me, try me, consume all my darkness.

Shine on me, shine on me.

3. As we gaze on your kingly brightness so our faces display your likeness,

ever changing from glory to glory, mirrored here may our lives tell your story.

Shine on me, shine on me

Concluding Prayer

Be with us Lord, as we go out into the world.

May the lips that have sung your praises always speak the truth;

May the ears which have heard your Word, listen only to what is good;

and may our lives and praises always be pleasing in your sight

for the glory of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
