Our theme this year, In the Fullness of Time, is an invitation to reflect on how Jesus entered human history at a particular time and place. The result is a Jesse Tree of sorts—a centuries old illustration that shows how God’s story has been written through particular people and comes to its fulfillment in Jesus.
This children’s devotional was designed as a kid-friendly companion to the
2024 NSCBC Advent Devotional. Each O Antiphon has been paraphrased
with more accessible language for children.
Each page is actually a coloring page featuring a large icon symbolic of that
particular name for Jesus. Children are encouraged to color and explore!
This year, our artists’ contributions are organized around a set of seven prayers called the O Antiphons, which are anthems sung responsively that have been used in the season of Advent for thirteen-hundred years. Rich with biblical language and themes, they cry out, ‘Come!’
