Dear Friends, 
 

I invite you, your family, friends and neighbors to join us in church or from home for Taizé Prayer as we unite our prayers and our songs for peace and reconciliation in our world. Our prayers are needed now more than ever. 


Peace,

A Parable of Community

In the Spirit of Taizé is an ecumenical form of prayer modeled after the Taizé community (an ecumenical Christian monastic community of brothers) founded in the 1940's by Br. Roger in Taizé, France. The purpose of the prayer is to foster reconciliation and peace among all people. Christians of all traditions share in this ecumenical prayer. The simple monthly service consists of song (using the simple chants of the Taizé community), scripture, a service of light, an extended period of silence for meditation concluding with prayers for the world.
