Candles
Each week in Children's Chapel we begin with this Candle Lighting prayer :
We light this Candle to reminds us,
That Christ is the Light of the World,
And we are Christ's light in the world.
Bringing light into darkness is a major theme for Lent,
so a candle is a natural symbol for that.
Candles also help your family create a wonderful family ritual.
Find a candle and light it before each meal.
Ask individuals to name something that they pray for and something for which they are thankful.
-Get a glass candleholder and have each person decorate part of the candleholder with sharpie markers. Then place your family candle inside that holder.
-Get plain candles at the craft store along with some flattened wax sheets. The flattened sheets will stick to the plain candles, so you can cut out shapes, decorations, etc. and then decorate your candle that way.
-Unleash your creativity and have fun!
