Taizé Service

The 7 pm. Sunday evening Taizé service is based on a form of worship from Taizé, an ecumenical monastic community in France that brings together youth and people of all ages, from all over all over the world, speaking many different languages and from many different religious traditions. From this diversity, Taizé has developed a community prayer that is meditative and easily accessible for all. Readings and prayers are simple and short. Following the Gospel or a short meditation, there is an extended period of silence for individual reflection. Songs are simple melodic chants repeated over and over, contributing to the meditative and accessible quality of prayer. We offer this service as a quiet end to a busy weekend or beginning to the new next week.
