Make your own Christingle
This year, there will be a combined service released to YouTube from 3pm on Christmas Eve.
The Advent trail leads directly into the Christingle; on Dec 23rd the final Advent window will be the east window of St Andrew’s Church, Histon and between 4-7pm you will be able to collect a Christingle Pack complete with some gifts whether you have completed the Advent Window trail or not. The pathway will be lit with candles to guide you.
On Christmas Eve, The Christingle service will have many familiar elements to it and you will be able to take part fully at home, making your Christingle as you watch the service. There will be familiar faces, songs, carols, lighting of candles and as always, a story from Tim!
Alongside the Advent windows, helping us walk towards Christmas are our Meet the Nativity films. Find those on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8gObe_QZlg0JiF-0bmiHlwEYYmlRs_Av or via the church website or fb page.

Santa’s Christmas Eve Jingle
HI Friends are inviting us to ring jingle bells on our doorsteps for 2 minutes at 6pm on Christmas Eve to help Santa’s sleigh fly high and bring some Christmas cheer to our villages.
They are producing ‘make your own’ jingle bell packs that will be on sale for £2.50/pack. All proceeds will go to HI Friends to continue to support activities in our villages.
Jingle bell packs will be ready by 3rd December but can be pre-ordered online by emailing info@hifriends.org.uk quoting your name and address. We are also hoping to set up stalls around the village in the coming weeks (COVID dependent) so look out for updates on where we will be on here.
Imagine how magical it would be to hear jingle bells ringing throughout the villages on Christmas Eve. There are things we can’t do this Christmas, but we can do this!
Follow the Advent trail
Sunday, 29 November to Tuesday 5th January, 5pm – 8pm
A new Advent Window will be opening each day in the run-up to Christmas at a location somewhere in our village, creating a growing Advent Window trail to follow. Some windows will be decorated as ‘Stained Glass’ and others in different creative ways, each revealing an image from the Christmas story or its themes of hope and joy.
The Advent Trail map with a list of addresses where you will find the windows will be posted on the St Andrew’s website from Friday 27 Nov.
