Advent Candlelighting Liturgies
While the advent wreath as we know it is a fairly modern tradition, the practice of lighting candles in the darkest weeks of the year has long been used to represent Christ’s light breaking through the darkness. These liturgies guide you through the four weeks of Advent all the way to Christmas Eve.

It’s the big night–and we can be as exhausted as Mary by the time we get to it! Take a look at these liturgies and blessings to help you bring the wonder of Christ’s birth alive for your congregation, no matter how many times they’ve heard the story.
[The shepherds] made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart.”
Luke 2:16-19
