Children - Sunday, 11 December 2022 – Third Sunday of Advent, Year A
Advent Wreath – Do not overlook the opportunity the Advent wreath gives for the participation of children. The lighting of the candle may be done by an older child (with care), or it may become the focus of the children’s address (which may be shifted to the beginning of the service). For full instructions on making the wreath and lighting prayers, see the Liturgy and Prayers tab.
