The 3rd graders began Advent attending the school prayer service surrounding the Advent Wreath in the church on Monday morning.  They will be adding a symbol to their Jesse tree* daily.

Each day they will also read and meditate on a scripture passage.  After they have completed the reading they are to color in the corresponding space on their Star of David.

*What is a Jesse tree?

An ancient tradition revived in the mid-20th century as an Advent practice, the Jesse Tree represents the family of Jesse, father of King David. Out of this family line, God would take flesh and live among the people of earth. The Gospel of Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus (Mt 1:1-17) names a person from each generation before Jesus’ birth. Stories about these people are in the Old Testament. The Jesse Tree itself can be made from paper, cloth, branches or a tabletop Christmas tree. Make or add an ornament each day of Advent to represent the ancestors of Jesus.

The students have a paper copy of the newsletter and we are training them on how to use it to up-date their student planner.

Please continue to check their planner at home as well.  Thanks!
