“Christingle is a joyful celebration that brings families and communities together to share the light of Jesus and spread a message of hope.” The Children’s Society
A service in aid of The Children’s Society. Christingles are oranges wrapped in red tape, decorated with sweets, with a candle on the top. During the service, each person takes a Christingle and the candles are all lit to create a warm, magical glow symbolising the light of Christ and bringing hope to people living in darkness.

All Saints’ Church is located within Claydon Estate and next to Claydon House, which is in the care of the National Trust.
The Service of Nine Lessons with Carols was first drawn up by Edward Benson when Bishop of Truro for use in his cathedral. It was simplified and adapted for use in the chapel of King’s College, Cambridge, in 1918 by the Dean, Eric Milner-White, who wrote the Bidding Prayer.

A weekly Tuesday Club, run in collaboration with Age UK Bucks. All senior citizens are invited as well as carers in the Parish who are interested in Age UK Bucks services. Tuesday Club offers a new way to catch up with friends or to meet new people for a friendly chat over hot drinks, cakes and biscuits.

Church Mice is a fun and relaxed group for parents and carers to bring their children. It is aimed at the under-fives, although school aged children join us in school holidays and enjoy singing their old favourite church mice songs.
We start with songs then have an informal bible reading followed by juice and biscuits for the children, and a tea or coffee for the adults. The children can then play with a selection of toys and games, allowing for the adults to chat in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and play with their children.
This is a great way to meet new people, and to grow friendships within our community. The sessions are free, and take place every Wednesday, at St Michael’s Church in Steeple Claydon from 10.30am and finish around midday.
If you are interested in coming along, please contact Kate on 01296 730655.
