Taize Prayers

A message from our pastor:

During our Saturday worship in Lent, our service begins with one or two sung Taize prayers as a way to help worshipers center themselves in God. Candles are also available to be lighted and placed in sand as a visual symbol of prayers offered to God. Taize is a Christian community in southern France in which simple songs with powerful messages are sung as prayers. “Jesus, remember me, when you come into your kingdom” is a Taize prayer in our hymnal which we have sung in worship over the years.

Taize prayer singing is a very special way to begin worship services and hope we can do it during other seasons.
