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.
