Booklet of Advent Candle Readings

by Rev. Kristopher D. Madsen

The lighting of Advent candles in a wreath is a tradition that marks the passage of the four weeks of the season before Christmas. The word advent means "coming." It is the season of the Church year where we are reminded of the promise of Christ's coming into our world. It is a season of preparation and anticipation, not simply for the celebration of Christmas, but to recognize that hope and expectation are a part of our daily life of faith.

This booklet provides brief readings and Scripture texts, along with songs to accompany the lighting of the candles. It also contains a brief order for confession and forgiveness for the Advent and Christmas seasons. These brief readings may be used for the worship services of a congregation or in family devotional settings.
