Look away now if you are planning on coming to my Christingle services this year!
Some jottings:
The Christingle
Explain meaning
ORANGE – world
Oranges are not the only
fruit! (FRUIT SLIDE)
The Bible actually has
quite a lot to say about fruit
READINGS
Galatians 5:22-26
Matthew 7:15-23
What if you tried to
re-tell the gospel / Christmas story through fruit?
COREney
Topical and tropical!

ORANGE – God made the
world
And he made the first
human PEAR / PAIR – Adam and Eve
Everything was PEACHY – it
was a perfect world
Men and women were the APPLE
of God’s eye – he loved them
But MANGOS – Man goes –
wrong
DRAGON FRUIT – Devil /
serpent / snake / dragon deceived Adam and Eve
Human being acted like
LEMONS
They went BANANAS – crazy
to sin!
Everything went PEAR
shaped
God would send his son to
put the world right
It would be a MIRACLE
birth
Born in Bethlehem – a real
SQUASH
A STAR would guide the
wise men to him
Eventually Jesus would die
on his cross – his PASSION / suffering
Jesus PLUMed the depths of
human sin on the cross
Died and was BERRIED /
BURRIED
Rose again
This good news of the Lord
Jesus isn’t a FIGment of the imagination
Jesus is alive today – his
love is always CURRANT
We can trust in him
KUMQUAT may

Ones that didn't quite make the cut:
GRAPE vine

JAMBUL / Jumble
