JESSE TREE ADVENT CHAIN
Advent chains are a simple way to count down the days
until we celebrate God's most precious gift to us, the
Incarnation, the coming in the flesh, of His Son Our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. It works much better than a
calendar for 3 and 4 year olds!
A Jesse Tree is a way of preparing forChristmas by
remembering the major events of the OldTestament,
the way God prepared the world for the coming of
His Son.
To make the Jesse Tree Advent Chain, simply cut along
the dashed lines, then take the first strip, loop it, tape
the ends to make the first link, then loop the second strip
through the first link, tape the ends, and repeat until the
chain is finished. Each day tear off the appropriate link,
read the Bible Verse and try the activity!
