Lighting the Candles

The congregation will form a circle around the sanctuary to sing “Joy to the World.” Pastor Dave will light his candle from the Christ     Candle. He will then light the candles of those standing next to him. Each worshipper will turn and allow the person standing next to them to tip their unlit candle and light it from their neighbor’s upright, lit candle. We will then sing, “Silent Night.” At the conclusion of the songs, please blow out your candle and place it in the box in the foyer.
