It helps us enter more fully into the church season of Advent, which anticipates the coming of Jesus and is a season of expectation. The Jesse Tree provides us with a tangible way to count down and look toward Jesus’ coming through the stories of the Old Testament.
Written by Matt Timms and illustrated by Sam Gutierrez, the Jesse Tree is a great way to enter this beautiful and special season. Buy the book and find a link to download the symbols to cut out and hang on your tree! |

The Jesus QuestionsThe Jesus Questions is a participatory study that helps people engage with and ponder the questions of Jesus. To start, the leader prints the 20 Jesus questions, cuts them apart, and puts them in a container. Each person draws one question to reflect on for a week. They gather again and share their thoughts, ideas, prayers, and questions.
The Jesus Questions is simple to lead, and highly participatory. It engages people of all ages and encourages them to become seekers on a journey of authentic response. |
