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!!

We're going live in under 40 minutes for our BerryBunch.family Light Party, and we're super excited!

We're going to stick to just one live stream this evening - to our Facebook page. Just look for the live video a few minutes before 7pm :-)

We'll upload a recording to YouTube, Instagram TV and of course, as soon as we finish - so it should be available to watch, again, from around 8pm (GMT) onwards.

Something 4 Sunday, Season 2 Episode 6

We're looking at light in this episode, because Jesus is the Light of the World and the Light always wins!

Jo Jo and Peter use a den to help us memorise John 1 v 5 and demonstrate an enlightening model for Family Prayer.

Andy B follows the link from John 1, to Psalm 33 and right back to Genesis 1.

Available on YouTube (https://youtu.be/SUGQ4Xukj_U) Facebook, and Instagram TV, from 8am (GMT) on Sunday 1st November.

While sitting in the car, waiting for Jo to get some printing done, I saw a Cruise Liner, which got me thinking about resting - both passive & active.

So, to the tune of rain beating on the roof, it got me pondering about how we rest; if God rested on the 7th day for the world - setting a beautiful rhythm for us to follow - and if we can rely on God, how does this affect our intentional resting as the children he adores?

Brought Jo into work this morning - she only has to print a document for her residential training course next week (we didn't fancy doing it at home since it's well over 400 pages!!!

Anyway, saw this - this particular office has a car park right on the dockside.

Got me thinkin....and chilling

It's been quite a successful couple of days with the BerryBunch.family 😃

We've recorded both art projects and our happy pumpkin (with gospel message) - for our free Live Light Party this Saturday (from 7pm GMT)

I've nearly finished all the video editing - all we need to do now is to wait until Saturday evening and get stuck in.

We've even managed to record all the other segments for our usual, other, 3 broadcasts going out over the weekend........busy, busy 🙂

Two art projects, no matter you age! and a pumpkin carving and a live broadcast........gonna be a busy but rewarding Saturday evening!

The resulting creations really are awesome and fitting for a www.BerryBunch.family produced Light Party 😃😁😊 (from 7pm GMT)

If you want a list of materials to get involved on the night, you can find them in our previous posts right her on DingDash!

So I've spent the best part of the day writing a new story for Little Blessings Online, and using Paul on the road to Damascus as the basic plot and hook...

...and after a day of wrestling to make this story work, I've come up with "Paul and the Bright Light, told by Tracy (spelt correctly) and Tracey (with an 'E')"

Just need some tweaking then we can film it :-)

Gonna need Jo for this one.................

Jo and the boys seemed to like it, so it mustn't be too bad!
