Taste of Taizé
Taizé is a village tucked away in the hills of Burgundy. An Ecumenical Community of Reconciliation which was established by Brother Roger Schutz towards the end of the Second World War. This famous monastic community exists to work and pray for reconciliation amongst peoples of all nations and cultures. The community is made up of brothers from different Protestant denominations and Roman Catholics from countries all over the world.
A great many young adults flock to the Community each year, however Taizé welcomes visitors of all ages and backgrounds. People come on pilgrimage to participate in meetings for prayer and reflective worship.
Our Parish Mission Action Plan includes a ‘wish to develop occasional alternative evening worship.’ Opportunity to experience different styles of worship will happen on the fifth Sunday – when there is a month with five Sundays. In a service held at the end of March we told the story of the Annunciation through art and music.
On Sunday 29th June at 6pm there is to be a service in the style of Taizé worship. Taizé worship offers time and space to learn more about oneself, our interaction others, and time to discover a personal relationship with God. Elements of Taizé worship include candlelight, prayers, readings and soft music with repetitive words.
Come along on June 29th discover more about your faith through this new worship experience.
Ubi caratis et amor, ubi caratis Dues ibiest – Where there is charity and love, God is to be found.
