During Lent we have experienced a whole new kind of worship for The Gathering called Taizé. Taizé is a unique style of worship that emphasizes Scripture meditation, prayerful song, reflective prayer, and silence as a means of experiencing the presence of Christ in the church community. Visuals such as candlelight, paintings and crosses are used to help focus in prayer.
The Taize Community was initiated during World War II in Burgundy, France as an ecumenical youth movement for young people to go deeper spiritually and to know themselves reconciled to God and each other through Christ. For more info -- www.taize.fr
April 1 will be our last Taizé service and hope you will come out and experience this worship. There is a simple Lenten dinner of soup and bread provided at 5:30pm in Ellis Hall, with worship beginning at 6pm in the Sanctuary. It's a wonderful time to set aside the busyness and connect with God in a new way.
