Advent: Naming Jesus








Advent: Naming Jesus
There’s so much in a name. Ask an expectant parent choosing names for the baby still in the womb or a trans person working to live into their true self. For Christians, nobody has more names and titles than Jesus - and during the season of Advent, we use as many of them as we can. Wonderful Counselor. Prince of Peace. Light of the World. Bright Morning Star. Emmanuel. God With Us.
With this Customizable Short Film, your congregation can invite people into the mystery and majesty of the season in a vivid, personal way: through the power of names, and the link between the names of Jesus and the love and justice he calls us to practice every day.
For a seamless approach to the season, pair this film with “Naming Jesus: A Family-Friendly Devotional,” packed with scripture, reflections, prayers, and accessible practices for families of all shapes and sizes.
For Customizable Short Films, SALT works on a “sliding scale” model: $75 for churches with up to 100 members; $125 for churches with 100-500 members; and $175 for churches with more than 500 members.
Once your order has been placed, within 7-10 business days you will receive a Dropbox link to download your film, a folder of stills from the shoot (perfect for your website, newsletters, and promotion on social media!).

“Naming Jesus: A Family-Friendly Advent Devotional” is all about the many names we give to Jesus, and the life-changing names he gives to us. Organized around the season’s four traditional themes (Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love), “Naming Jesus” features a simple, home-based weekly Advent service for each week, including a scripture passage, reflection, and prayer. Several accessible, family-friendly practices round out each week, all designed to bring a little more meaning and mystery to your Christmas preparations and celebrations - plus a few fun “anytime” activities to do along the way.
SALT teamed up with the inimitable Rev. Quinn Caldwell to create this lovely devotional. Each order comes with two versions: one printable (this can be printed in color or in grey scale), and one laid out for your favorite e-reader. What’s more, this lovely resource has an equally lovely companion, a Customizable Short Film for congregations featuring many of the names of Jesus (check it out below!) :)
Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF printable on 8.5 x 11 paper, an e-reader version, and printing instructions.
