Supplies needed: large birthday candles, undecorated frosted sheet cake
Open with these questions: Ask who has been a light in your life? Who has shared with you a better understanding of God? Today we will celebrate the candles in our lives.
At the front have boxes of birthday candles and a large undecorated frosted sheet cake. Invite everyone to think of at least one person who has been a light in their lives and invite them to light a candle and place it in the cake. As more and more candles are added, turn off the lights so the glowing effect of the candles is even brighter.
Point out how one may feel like a little light in the big world. But if we are all such lights for other people, like the ones you thought of as you added a candle, we can be this bright together.

Who is Brenda?
Brenda is a brave one. She stutters yet is a national speaker. She loves teaching so much she’s been a substitute teacher for over 20 years. She’s brave enough to enter any classroom at a middle school. She also simply loves teaching groups, whether they are teens or adults. You could say she was created for this, stuttering and all. She has been in youth ministry for 34 years and has no plans to “grow up” and be a real pastor. She bravely loves teenagers, especially that middle school age. She has served in her church, New Covenant Fellowship of Manassas, Virginia, since 1990 and they will probably bury her there.
