A Gentle Advent: Jesse Tree

Description

A Gentle Advent™ – Jesse Tree

This beautiful Advent morning time curriculum contains both digital elements and PDFs for you to print, activities for you to complete, and inspiration to guide you through this season.

The foundation of Jesse Tree is an Advent Scripture Journal. The Scripture study is done daily with our GROW™ method of Bible study to encourage the habit of devotion. There are printable ornaments to coordinate with each day’s study, recipes, handicrafts, art and poetry studies, hymns and carols, an advent calendar and more included in A Gentle Advent: Jesse Tree.

These activities are all meant to flow through what our family calls “Holiday Homeschool”. We do a light version of homeschool during the holiday season and this allows us to stay in the habit of learning, but also allows us to explore the season. A Gentle Advent – Jesse Tree will work for your family through regular, light, or “take the month of December off” homeschooling.

Included with your files is a PDF with links to all necessary video and audio files for the program.
