This past Sunday during Children's Worship we made the first 5 ornaments for the Jesse Tree (globe, apple with snake wrapped around it, ark, tent, lamb, and ladder). These ornaments correspond with the devotions in The Advent Jesse Tree Devotions for Children and Adults to prepare for the coming of the Christ Child at Christmas by Dean Meador Lambert.
What is the Advent Jesse Tree?
"The word Advent means "coming" and refers to the coming of Jesus. The Advent Jesse Tree emphasizes His coming in the flesh at Bethlehem nearly two thousand years ago. It also explains His coming with the New Covenant and His second coming when He will return to judge all of manking. The Advent season is a time for all of us to prepare for these "comings." "(Page 9, The Advent Jesse Tree by Dean Meador Lambert.
