       To light the way.  The Lord is with us.  Our Savior goes with us.

Wear appropriate clothing

Obtain  candle lighter from the store room

Stand at back of Sanctuary near the host before the invocation
Ask host to light the wick

At the beginning of the processional hymn walk up the aisle

Light candles on the right side of the altar from the left to right;  

Walk behind altar and light candles on the left side of the altar from right to left;

Snuff wick flame and walk down aisle.  The candle lighter can be placed in the back of the sanctuary.

After the recession, walk up the aisle and snuff candles in the same order you lit them.

Before snuffing the last candle, light the wick, snuff the candle and then recess with the lighted wick.

Blow out the wick after your recession and return the candle lighter to the storeroom
