Jesse tree This Advent and Christmas season we’re trying something new, it’s called a Jesse tree. Starting on 1 December, every day we hang a symbol (this year: a hand-drawn picture on a round piece of paper, coloured in by Kelly and Lukas) in the tree (this year: a branch that Kelly found outside). Every day a story from salvation history is told, starting with the Spirit of God hovering over the waters, through the Old Testament, until the stories around the birth of Jesus. Lukas really enjoys these times, and insists that he is allowed to pray on his own - we then hear back parts of the story of the day, and sometimes he prays for people far or near.
