The Jesse Tree - The Story Of Jesus
The Jesse Tree is a way of telling the story of God's plan from the beginning of time to redeem His people by sending a Savior, Jesus. It follows the lineage of Christs family and key people in the Old Testament that God uses to tell His story from Creation through Christ's birth. It is a countdown daily to Christmas with the telling of a story, and an ornament that acts as a symbol and visual reminder of the story.
