This is a video Eric and I put together for the first week of advent. Every year for advent, we’ve had different families or individuals come up on stage during the services, read a short explanatory paragraph and scripture passage, and light the candle for that week. It worked well, but we felt like it would cease to be special if we did it the same way every year. This year we decided to do the “reading” via video and simply have the family light the candle while the video plays. Below is the video for this week, discussing the topic of peace. (By the way, we don’t always use the traditional candle names and order. We change them to better fit with that year’s Christmas message series. That’s reflected in these videos.)
