Taizé Service

Next Taize Service is April 12th in Barry Hall starting at 6:00pm.  Come at 5:30 if you want to participate in the fish taco dinner in the parish hall.  And you are very welcome to stay after the Taizé service for Stations of the Cross in the church.  Hope to see you.

Taizé prayer is a meditative form of prayer. Through the chanting of lovely musical phrases, prayerful reading of God’s Word and silence, in a calming candle-lit environment, our bodies and minds slow down enough to be able to listen to the voice of God that is planed deep within us. Come pray with us. You will be amazed how God touches your heart. The service will last about 45 minutes.

TAIZÉ, a little village in the heart of the Burgundy region of France, is the home of an ecumenical community of Brothers. They are monks and contemplatives, yet they are missionary and apostolic. Their way of life embodies much of what is rich and central from the great Christian tradition, and yet there is a sense of freshness and newness in their approach. Some of the Brothers are Protestant, others are Catholic, yet they are united in one community. They have something special to say to contemporary human kink, and the many thousands of people who visit the community each year bear witness to this. Through prayer, silence and fellowship with people from many different cultures and Christian traditions, more than one hundred thousand men, women and young people each year find in Taizé the presence of the risen Lord Jesus offering them a new way to live in the spirit of kindness, simplicity and reconciliation.
