Bring your Advent wreath liturgy to life with this complete set of five candle lighting scripts, written to accompany the Walking with Mary sermon series. Each script is crafted for multiple readers, making it easy to involve laypeople, families, or ministry teams in leading worship — week after week, all the way through Christmas Eve.

Written in accessible, poetic language, these scripts don't just mark the lighting of a candle — they tell a story. Each week builds on the last, tracing Mary's journey from the angel's visit to the manger, while drawing the congregation into their own experience of waiting, hoping, and arriving.

What's included:

• 5 ready-to-use candle lighting scripts (Weeks 1–4 and Christmas Eve)
• Written for multiple readers (4–5 voices per script)
• Candle lighting cues built into each script
• A closing prayer for each week
• Christmas Eve script that recaps the full Advent journey and lights all five candles

Series at a glance:

• Week 1 — Invitation: Saying yes to God's call, even into the unknown
• Week 2 — Joy: Finding light and refuge amid the chaos of the season
• Week 3 — Hope: The Magnificat and trusting God's promises before the answers come
• Week 4 — Perseverance: Keeping faith in the final, exhausting stretch
• Christmas Eve — Arrival: Lighting all five candles as the journey comes home

These scripts pair seamlessly with the Walking with Mary sermon series but can also stand alone as a complete Advent wreath liturgy for any congregation.
