Advent Unit Study—Bartholomew's Passage

During the season of Advent (Latin word meaning coming or arrival) we prepare to celebrate Jesus' first coming as a baby in Bethlehem. Sometimes it helps to add ideas or give direction for your family's preparations as the busyness of the season can drown out the reasons why we celebrate.

Continuing in the tradition of our two previous unit studies: Advent Unit Study—Jotham’s Journey and Advent Unit Study—Tabitha's Travels, this edition is centered around the book Bartholomew's Passage. This is the third book in Arnold Ytreeide's trilogy that focuses on the character of young Bartholomew, whom you met in the first book, Jotham's Journey.

Bartholomew’s Passage is a family story and devotional that gives you the opportunity to create a seasonal tradition of storytelling in your home. Combined with associated scripture passages and a number of group projects, this Advent Unit Study will help you and your family prepare for the miracle of Christmas.

Take a sneak peek below.
