Our meditation service has gotten a face lift! We are no longer doing "Taize" style meditation. However, we are still hosting monthly candlelight meditation services. Our first was held on the 2nd Sunday of November. The group listened to a Scripture reading on healing, followed by about 45 minutes listening to meditative healing music in candlelight. Everyone seemed to like the new style.Why the change? The group has felt that some music background would help to hide the distracting street noises rather than long periods of complete silence as is typical with Taize. In addition, we felt that quiet listening was more meditative than trying to sing, even though Taize music is repetitive. If you have any questions, you may contact any of the meditation leadership team: Claralee Street, Betty Lane, Karen Freitas or Pastor Gwyneth.
Meditation may not be your "cup of tea." However, our primary aim is not just for "Peoples folk" but as an opportunity to invite a friend to church who may be uncomfortable with traditional Sunday worship. Please consider inviting a friend to come with you next time. It may not be your favorite style of worship, but it may be theirs!
Join us every 2nd Sunday at 7pm.
