Thriving Family Magazine: Advent Calendar

http://www.thrivingfamily.com/extra/call-for-submissions

Theme: 2012 Advent Calendar

We’re looking for a short piece for each day of Advent. This year’s theme will be “The Names of Jesus.”

-Start with a fun activity — something that can be done in about 5 minutes and includes motion or movement (not “talk about” or “discuss”) and explains the topic of the day.

-Explain the concept in simple terms.

-Mention a craft, traditional story (in the public domain and for children), a recipe, Jelly Telly video, Adventures in Odyssey story, Clubhouse craft, etc. This must shed light on the topic or relate to it in a natural way. Please do not include songs or lyrics.

Topics: First week of Advent:

-Jesus, Matthew 1:21

-Word of God, Revelation 19:13

-Son of David, Matthew 1:1

-Alpha and Omega, Revelation 22:13

-Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Revelation 5:5

-Bread of Life, John 6:48

-Rock, 1 Corinthians 10:4

(You could use a different Scripture reference for the name, but the name must refer to Jesus.)

Target: Parents with young children. The concepts should be easy for 5- to 8-year-olds to understand.

Word Count: 150 words

Rights: This will be a “work for hire,” so Focus on the Family will own all rights to the material.

Payment: $75 for two days material (300 words), on acceptance

Other details: For reference, please see the 2011 calendar.

Due date: March 15, 2012

Byline: no byline

Submission: If interested, please respond to Web.Features@fotf.org and put “Attn: Troy — Advent Week 1” in the subject line. (Note: You must include the subject line as it appears here or the submission will not reach the appropriate editor for consideration.)
