Thank you to everyone who came to the church to join in the service and light the Christingles. It was so lovely to see the Christingles handed out and everyone being part of the service.
It was a lovely service, the church glowed and the Reilly family lit the Advent star on the top of the church.
"After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshipped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented Him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route." (Matthew 2:1-12)
