Into the Final Straight

Monday afternoon - two assemblies left and the last Christingle of this year done and dusted. A great experience made all the better by using glowsticks rather than candles for the youngest children's service.

I used the candles which were still in place from last night's candlelit service:


A great idea as it added to the effect of the glowsticks and made it all just a little more special:


And so that is the preparation for Christmas almost done and dusted and a very sincere 'Thank You' to all who have helped to make the services work so well.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a glowstick?

I only ask because I found last night's nine lessons and carols, perilous in the extreme, holding books, sheet music, turning pages and holding a candle in the 'other' hand.

Ray, take a look at the post before this and you'll find a demonstration of the wonderful glowstick,

Yes but what is it, how does it work?

Thanks Vic. It looks effective and infinitely safer than candles.
Will bring pressure to bear on clergy and or musical director for next 'candle occasion'.
