Christingles are a great way of getting excited for celebrating Christmas and the birth of Jesus Christ. We love them.

You can expect a BerryBunch Christingle each year in the run up to Christmas – from our home, to yours. You can view from the comfort of your own home and whether you’re 8 or 80, we’ll have something for you to enjoy!

We will, amongst other things – of course – show you how to make your own Christingle.

Andy’s first experience of a Christingle was when he led the team that delivered one to nearly 800 guests at a church in Hampshire. When the first candle was accidentally lit early, it certainly made for an interesting baptism of fire!

Everything we do is always free to access, so get involved!

All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).

Accidentally, I think this is the biggest tree we've ever had.

Incidentally, in the smallest house we've ever lived in.

Lol

The smell of the pine is divine 🙂

We broadcast a live Prayer time, on weekdays - currently from 1pm (UK), via our Facebook channel facebook.com/berrybunchfamily

We take maybe 15-20 minutes to pray through things in the world, close to home and to give thanks to God too!

So what can we pray for?

In this 2 Minute Video, Andy B looks at a blow up booster seat that's destined for the bin.

But if it doesn't work, it is pointless, dangerous and needs replacing. Until it is no longer needed. Then, whether it works or not, it isn't needed.

This photo reminds me to keep hoping.

My short blog post shares how this image of me, being exhausted, brings much comfort and hope in the UK during lockdown 2.0!!
