Taize Services

(All Ages) are ecumenical sung and silent participatory prayer services designed to achieve a contemplative state through music, song and silence. Short chants, repeated again and again, give these services a meditative character. By using just a few words, the chants express a basic reality of faith, quickly grasped by the mind. Taizé services are held as announced.
