St Michael Episcopal Church

1st Sunday of each Month

7:00pm - Taize Contemplative Prayer Service

“The Holy Spirit kindles a glimmer of light within us. However faint it may be, it awakens in our hearts the desire for God. And the simple desire for God is already prayer. These are lines from “A Future of Peace,” a letter written by Brother Roger of Taize, France.

Taize is the birthplace of a contemplative style of worship which is designed to focus the believer’s mind on prayer and contact with God.

During a Taize worship service, simple Taize songs, which are repetitive and meditative, are sung followed by a special Scripture reading, silent prayer, and more music.

Candlelight, icons, and other items are used to help focus the minds of worshippers and enhance the meditative atmosphere.

Taize worship services are both beautiful and powerful and a wonderful way of becoming closer to God.

The Episcopal Church is a Sacramental Church. St. Michael and All Angels’ is a Eucharist-centered parish.
