Harvest Festival

Harvest festival is celebrated in church every year and for many years now the church has collected donations of goods to be boxed and sent to Romania. Boxes are made for children and adults and the primary school donate gifts and the children make Christmas cards so that every person receives seasons greetings from Crosshouse. Usually around 200 boxes are donated and money given towards transport.

Christmas

Christmas services begin at advent on the four Sundays leading up to Christmas day and each week one of the children from the Sunday school will light one of the four red candles on the advent crown circling the main white candle which represents Jesus, the light of the world. The white candle will be lit at the christingle service.

The Christingle Service is held Christmas Eve and is a family service where the children are encouraged to bring a Christingle. The atmosphere in the church as the congregation sing and the light of the christingles illuminate the church brings to life the true meaning of Christmas.
