Contemplative Communion Service

(Also known as Taizé Service)

What is Taizé?

Taize is a style of worship that originated at an ecumenical monastery in Taize, France after WWII. It is a quiet, meditative service with repetitive chanting songs, prayers, guided meditation and communion. For more information, see Wikipedia's entry on Taizé.

Who is it for?

Taizé is for everyone. Visitors may attend just the Taizé service at 8:30. Sometimes, this early service fits people's schedule better. Others like to attend both the Taizé service and the 10 am service as well. Childcare for Taize can be arranged by calling the church office before noon on Friday. Older children are welcome at Taizé.
