Meditation Service Startup

Beginning Sunday, March 30, we will be meeting Sundays at 7pm in the Sanctuary for meditation using Scripture, reflective music and silence in darkness and candlelight based in the tradition of Taize. This will be the trial run, and will be publicized outside the church to begin April 6 and will run throughout the spring. Please consider inviting a friend.

Taize (pronounced Tah-Zay) began as a Christian youth movement in Taize, France. Youth from all over the world spend days, weeks or months in the Taize community to connect with the love of Christ and find brother and sisterhood there.

The community never intended to break away from the church, but to provide renewal within the church. Many churches around the world are incorporating this style of meditation, which is especially appealing to teens and young adults. For more information, you can go to the Taize Community website.

In addition to the pastors, those assisting in the design and leadership of these services have included Earle Harvey, Betty Lane, Claralee Street and Ellen Dunn. Others are always welcome. We hope all might come out to experience a time of meditation in the Christian tradition.
