Christingle Service - 20 December 2009

During Children’s Liturgy today the children made Christingles, held a short service  and brought the Christingles into the church during the Offertory.

A Christingle consists of:

  • an orange representing the world
  • a red ribbon around it representing the blood of Jesus
  • fruit and nuts skewered on cocktail sticks pushed into the orange representing the fruits of the earth and the four seasons
  • a lighted candle pushed into the centre of the orange, representing Jesus Christ as the light of the world.

Cove Village Fayre - 30 May 2009

 

Cove Village Fayre. Saturday 30 May 2009 was a bright sunny day and many local people enjoyed the Fayre. There was a beautiful flower festival in St Christopher's Church, a variety of food stalls at Cove Methodist Church, local police and a fire engine at the Old Courthouse pub. There were games for the children and scarecrows all over the place. People were entertained by Morris Dancers, Irish dancing and a Gospel choir. On Sunday 31 May there was an outdoor service at Tower Hill school followed by a picnic lunch. A good time was had by all. In fact it was so good that next year's Fayre has been fixed for Saturday 5 June 2010 - and we might close the road and have go-cart racing!

First Communion - 7 June 2009

 

37 children from our Parish took their First Holy Communion on Sunday 7 June in the Chapel at Farnborough Hill.  

 

This special Mass was the culmination of 9 months preparation by the children, their parents and their catechists.  The children were very involved in the Mass - reading clearly, singing beautifully and doing the offertory procession. Congratulations to all the children and thank you to all those who helped with preparation and organisation.
