Are you looking for a contemplative way to reflect on your week? This is an ecumenical form of prayer accessible to all in a peaceful atmosphere of meditative chants. Come and join us at a Prayer in the Style of Taizé service. Taizé services are offered by the Downtown Churches Association once a month between September and May. To find the date and location of this month’s service, click on Events. All are welcome to attend this candlelit ecumenical prayer and music filled service.

Can’t attend a service, but  want to experience the meditative atmosphere of Taizé? Listen to a few minutes of prayer with song and a bible verse recorded live in Taizé, France, courtesy of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church. Some samples of music used in services can also be found on the website of Elk Lake Baptist Church.

For more information, please contact Harry Ray of the DCA Taize Working Committee by email or Janet Gray, Committee chair, by phone at (250) 478-5066. For more information on the Taizé community and its programs, prayers, and songs, see: www.taize.fr/en.
