Yep....that's kind of a requirement to be in the ministry. You start lying and people, for some reason, lose faith in ya.

I wanna know!!!
I've seen them done before where for most of the service there are lights on, but at the end for one last part everyone has a candle and at that time everybody lights their candles - like someone in each section has their's lit and then everybody lights each others until everyone's is lit...

The way we're doing it though is just having the church lit by candle and oil lamp light for the whole service.

No not every one got a candle at ours two of our young people at the start of the service went up front and lit the candles.

Re: Candle light services

Basically, you can do it however you want - there's not a right or wrong way....be creative.

We've had a Christmas service before where we had candles and oil lamps lighted, but also had the the lights on the ceiling fans in the sanctuary turned on, but not the main lights.

Have done communion somewhat similar to that too.
