Nativity and Christingle Service – 6pm – Christmas Eve 24th Dec:  Discovery Bay Anglican Church welcomes everyone to this wonderful festive event!  Children tell the story of Christmas – each child has an opportunity to be a character in the Nativity story – the story of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.  After the Nativity, a Christingle (Christ Light)  is given to each child which symbolizes Jesus, the light of the world. The Christingles are blessed under the stars and then can be taken home.  A beautiful tradition for all the family!   This service is held in the hall of Wei Lun Primary School.
