Thank you for Christmas generosity

Christingle and Carol Service.

A big thank you to the whole village for your wonderful support at these two recent Christmas events.

The first Christingle, held by The Church of England, was in 1968 to raise funds for The Children’s Society but the tradition can be traced back to 1747 in Germany. The word Christingle first appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1986. The Children’s Society estimates that around one million people now attend a Christingle service in the UK and the service still raises money for children’s charities.

This is the reason St Petrock’s split your generous donations between The Children’s Society and Save the Children.

This year £524.28 was raised between the two services and the two charities have each been sent £262.14. A wonderful total!

Thank you once again.
