Advent Make and Take

To help families mark the days of Advent, children prepared paper Jesse Tree symbols to take home for family worship.  The Jesse Tree is named from Isaiah 11:1: "A shoot will spring forth from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots."  It is a vehicle to tell the Story of God in the Old Testament, and to connect the Advent Season with the faithfulness of God across 4,000 years of history.  A booklet of daily readings was included in the Make and Take.
