In this super special broadcast, Andy B and Jo Jo take us through the Christingle. They look at the history of the Christingle, and the humble orange that makes up the most important part.

Jo Jo brings history alive as she takes us through what each of the elements of a Christingle mean.

Andy B teams up with Jo Jo to show us how to actually make a Christingle, using objects and items that should be fairly easy to find in your home!

There are two great Videos you can also watch which we think are fabulous and can highly recommend:

Just under an hour to go before we broadcast our live Christingle, from our home to yours - over on www.facebook.com/berrybunchfamily

...from our home to yours...

If you want to join in, and make your own Christingle Orange along with us as we explore a little of what the Christingle is all about, we'll be making that Christingle - LIVE - and all you'll need is:
- an orange
- some cocktail sticks (or super small branches...or even a Lego light sabre)
- a candle (we'll be using party candles as they're easier to 'add')
- red ribbon (or a strip of paper and a red felt tip pen or crayon or paint)
- some raisins or sweets to go on the cocktail sticks (warm them up on a radiator and they'll go on even easier)

Advent 2020 - Day 22 - Jesus is Coming!

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 1:20 (HCSB)

@Rinati - if you want to join us, live or later, this is what you'd need.

Andy B

If you want to join in with our LIVE BROADCAST Christingle, this Sunday afternoon at 4pm (GMT), you won't need many things.

For every Christingle Orange that you wish to make you will need:
- a large orange
- red electrical tape or similar (we'll be using a red ribbon we saved from a birthday cake)
- 4 cocktail sticks (plus a few spare in case you break one or two)
- dolly mixture (or soft fruit, or anything soft enough to push a cocktail stick through!)
- a small/thin candle (we'll be using a birthday candle because it comes with it's own mount and spike)

You can join us live on Facebook at the time.

And, as soon as we're able to, we'll upload the video to our YouTube Channel and Instagram TV Page, so you can watch it whenever and wherever is most convenient for you: from our home to yours.

Everything we do is always free to access.

Quite chuffed with the graphics in these (3 images only took about 5 man hours to create! - the coloured words on Little Blessings Online took an hour on their own...working out how to grab a colour from below to fill the letters). And loving the evolution of our efforts, from Season 1 (2020) through to Season 3 (2021).

We've changed how we record the audio and we've changed how we record the video. Editing has become better, and we've increased the range and quality of what we do as a family for God's Kingdom.

We've got qot quicker, and seen the website grow.

Quite a year!

And at least if somebody asks us what we did during Covid, we can say we produced the best part of 200 free video resources, built a website and had fun doing it all, and hosted more than 70 Live Prayer Sessions.

I don't like blowing my own trumpet, but am very proud of my little family!

Andy B

Making plans for 2021, and more of our broadcasts and free Video Resources for plenty more Episodes for Season 3.

We'll be carrying on with our weekly Daily Family Prayers Live at 1pm, Andy B 2 Minute Videos (as inspiration strikes) and more.
