In which order is an advent wreath lit?
The traditional advent wreath has four candles, one for each Sunday in Advent, three purple and one pink. Some more modern traditions (commonly Lutherans) use advent wreaths with four blue candles. If they are all the same color, it doesn't matter what order you light them in, so I presume you are asking about the tradional pink/purple candles. The candle opposite the pink candle is lit first, on the first Sunday of Advent (or the vigil service on the Saturday night before). There's no real rule about going clockwise or counter clockwise, as far as I know, but the second Sunday means lighting the first candle as well as a second purple one. On the third Sunday the pink candle is lit along with the previous two purple ones. On the fourth Sunday all four candles are lit. Many congregations and families also use a white candle in the center to represent Christ; this is lit on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

What do Methodist church candles mean?
It depends what candles you are asking about. The white ones used for everyday ceremonies are lit to signify the presence of the Holy Spirit. There are also special candles, such as Advent candles, that have specific meaning Advent candles are lit for 4 week prior to Christmas. One new candle is lit every week. At Christmas, the Christ Candle is lit to show Christ's birth into the world. I have also seen Methodists use candles as a Nativity, in Wedding's, and when singing.
