The season of Advent is a wonderful time to look to the children in your midst as leaders of faith. As Isaiah 11:6 says, “... and a little child shall lead them.”

Find resources and suggestions for ways children can lead during this season, including a Lighting the Advent Candles with Children liturgy in "A Season with Children in Leadership" in the winter issue of ideas! magazine.
