As part of the service:
we renewed our baptismal vows
we thanked God for the saints (both living and dead) in our lives
lit candles from the Christ candle to reflect the light (goodness) we see in saints comes from the light of Christ.

Children's sermon:
Using cellophane paper, and the Christ candle we introduced Children to the idea that saints are people that God shine through, and this is what makes them look good.
