Taizé-like service with potluck dinner—Come join us! Share a meal! Share in worship. This contemplative service is based on the Taizé Tradition. Our first event will be on Saturday, May 18th. The potluck meal will start at 5 p.m., followed by the Taizé service at 6 p.m.
Taizé is Christian worship practised by the ecumenical Taizé community of France, which is characterised by repetitive, simple singing of harmonised tunes, often in various languages, interspersed with readings, prayers, and periods of silence. All are Welcome! Invite a friend!
