Use a map of the world and have students attach glow-in-the-dark stars on the places in the world that need the light of Jesus this Advent. Provide votive candles for your students to take home and light each night as symbols of waiting for the light of the world and as reminders that they are to take the light of Jesus to others. Explain that by adding their candles to the wreath they symbolize their willingness to prepare their hearts for Jesus’ coming. This can be done as they enter worship time, at the end as a closing or as a part of your teaching time. Tell it over and over, pausing in the right places. Have each student light a candle and add it to the center of the wreath. Enriching the Faith Experience Absorb the storys message until it is part of you.
