my old church used to light a candle every week and had a bible verse too

We Episcopalians do the same..AND we have a Jesse Tree.
I hope to have some shots of my Church(Resurrection)when it is decked out for the season to share with you..

The collect for the day in the Church of England includes the words 'Stir up, O Lord, the wills of your faithful people, that they bringing forth the fruit of good works, may by you be richly rewarded: through Jesus Christ Our Lord.' Amen

It is only an informal title; the real name is 'Christ the King' but it is a good tradition and fun for all the family to make home made mincemeat and Christmas puddings and a cake.
