-- Second Wednesday of the Month, 7:30 pm, in the North Sanctuary
The Taizé experience offers worshippers an opportunity to reclaim their calm, sure focus on God's presence in their lives. Taizé started in France as a youth movement after the second World War, as a way to bring hope and peace to a discouraged generation. Today, Taizé has spread throughout the world, bringing its message of healing to an ever-growing number of participants.
Area musicians who would like to participate in a Taizé service are invited to contact Taizé music coordinator Janice Cook at 848-3360 or jbakercook@aol.com.
