THERE will be a Christingle service at Holy Cross Church in Crediton on Sunday, December 15 at 3pm.

The service will be accompanied by the Crediton Town Band.

Antonia Tregenza explained: “We will all be making Christingles together from 2.30pm in the Lady Chapel.

“Please join us as it will be a lot of messy fun.

“The Christingle represents hope - the bright fun orange colour, and the candle shining in the dark.

“Donations in aid of the Children's Society who support children who are having a difficult time, maybe as carers, suffering from mental health or from poverty.”
