To finish off Part 1, it's time to grab some white liquid glue and create special memento to remind us to keep the flame of faith alive in our hearts and famililes.

You will need:

• White liquid glue
• Disposable cup or bowl for the glue
• The supply kit you picked up at the church (No kit? Email Katherine!)

This craft is a little sticky! Having a damp cloth nearby to wipe your child’s hands might help. Before you begin, consider having a washable placemat in place to help make clean up easier.

1. Start by mixing your glue to be about 2 parts glue one part water in a disposable cup or bowl. You won’t need much, a little goes a long way. Stir till mixed.
2. Turn the clear cup upside down on a washable placemat on the work surface and paint the outside of the cup in sections with the glue mixture. Stick the tissue paper on it as you go, so the glue doesn’t dry. 
3. Try overlapping the tissue paper, as it makes different colours.
4. Once the cup is all covered with the tissue paper squares, paint over all of the tissue paper with the glue mixture to make it smooth. (Fancy!)
5. When the glue is dry, add the stained glass window sticker to the front. Get an adult to help you write "Christ our Light" on the cup with permanent marker.
6. Put the candle inside and let your light shine! The effect of the candle behind the tissue paper is like a stained glass window!

This candle reminds us of Jesus’ love for us and how he is a light for us on our faith journey. Jesus asks us to be a light for others. Consider lighting this candle each time you begin to do your First Communion Preparation, at meals and during bedtime prayers.

Each person is unique, like the many colours of the stained glass. When Jesus shines through us our unique light is a gift to the whole world!

This candle is lit as a symbol of the light of Christ burning in our hearts. Where might be a good place to put this in your home?
