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.
Add a new element to your holiday traditions as you utilize our expanded Advent Unit Study. Based around the book Jotham’s Journey and associated scripture passages, we have added in a number of elements to help make this year’s Advent a true family celebration.
This study is ideal for grades 2-8 (ages 7-13), but can be enjoyed by the entire family. This product is consumable, but you do not need one for each student, as this product is designed to do together as a family. This package listing is not available without the Jotham’s Journey title; if you already own the title, it could be a wonderful Christmas gift/donation for a family on your list. You can purchase components individually for this kit here:
