Use Your Wreath Daily

The advent wreath is not just lit on Sundays - that's only when the next candle in the sequence is lit.  Every day in between Sundays you can light the candle(s) as a family.  Here's an example of a basic home prayer service for the season.  During the week you can use the same prayers and select a different scripture reading each day from the ones listed for each week.
