RE: 2003 Advent Wreath Candle Lighting Meditations for Local Churches
Advent Wreath candle lighting meditations for worship and home use for 2003 are now available on the General Board of Discipleship worship and music website (www.umcworship.org) at http://www.gbod.org/worship/default.asp?act=reader&item_id=9457. Meditations from 2001 and 2002 are also available on the site.
These are brief liturgies for lighting the Advent wreath candles, each based on one of the lectionary passages for that day. There are lines separated out for different speakers or readers, including children, or they may be done by one person. Each concludes with one or more recommended stanzas from a selection in The UM Hymnal or The Faith We Sing as an option.
