Prayer, Silence & Meditative Song
A time to pause and be with God
Wednesday, February 25th at 7:00 pm
Taizé was founded during World War II by Brother Robert Schutz. The Taizé community has grown into an international center for spirituality. Its mission emphasizes reconciliation, peace, and unity among Christians from diverse backgrounds. The heart of Taizé worship are simple repetitive chants that create a serene atmosphere conducive to meditation and prayer.
A Taizé service includes beautiful melodies that allow us to enter into a spirit of prayer. The simplicity of the chants invites everyone to participate. The service includes scripture readings and moments of silence providing space for personal reflection and listening to God’s voice.
The service includes candle lighting, symbolizing our prayers and intentions for ourselves and others.
A Taizé service is to be a midweek opportunity to step away from the busyness of life and immerse ourselves in God’s presence. It is an opportunity for all of us – families, singles, youth, seniors – to pause, pray and connect with God and one another in a peaceful environment. It is an opportunity to gather together for a powerful evening of faith, meditation, and community.
