Advent Candle Lighting 2024. We light the candle because we know that the coming of christ is tied to our building of the kingdom. He is the wisdom that teaches and guides us.

As the first candle of the advent wreath is lit, signaling the beginning of the sacred season, heartfelt prayers are offered to usher in the spirit. To help proclaim that god’s new world is at hand, the people of the salt project have written four alternative candle lighting litanies to use during the holy season of advent.
