Join us for an evening of prayer and spiritual reflection in the Taizé style on Friday, March 15, at 7:30 PM in the church.

Taizé Prayer is a distinctive style of meditative prayer developed by an ecumenical community of monks in rural France. This quiet, moving, reflective prayer combines elements of the Church's tradition and Liturgy of the Hours with elements of contemplative meditation.
 
A typical Taizé prayer service incorporates periods of silence with meditative readings from Scripture, prayers of praise and intercession, and the frequent repetition of simple, contemporary chants based on the Psalms or other parts of Scripture. Short songs or chants, repeated over and over, create a meditative environment and express fundamental realities of faith that the mind and the heart can easily grasp. The result is to move prayer from the head to the heart gradually.

Additionally, the display of icons and various symbols are works of art. Creating an icon involves meditation through icon writing.  Taizé Prayer is widely practiced around the world today in universities and retreat houses but is also growing in popularity in parish churches and local congregations throughout the world.
