The First Sunday in Advent - Prophecy Candle


"This candle reminds us of the time for waiting for the Messiah to come.  It reminds us of the witness of prophets about the Savior.  It is a time for our waiting as we move toward the celebration of Christmas."


"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given, 
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And He will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6

I found this advent wreath in a catalog years ago.  You can easily make your own advent wreath... or even use colored votive candles and place in a circle.  Even if you begin your advent wreath tomorrow... it's the thought and memories you make with the wreath that matters.
