Advent Candle Liturgy
You are encouraged to use these liturgies daily, setting aside a time in your day to light the candle for the week. Additional time for quiet devotion or reflection with others is also encouraged.
Weekly Blessing & Reflection
As you begin your day: I thank God that you are in my life. God has given you special gifts, may you use them to be blessing of hope to others.
At the close of day: Where did you see people in need of hope today or needing to hear a word of encouragement?
