Taizé Prayer Service
Tuesday, October 8
( Second Tuesdays, September – January)
7 pm, Sanctuary
Taizé Prayer is evening prayer for all Christian faiths. It is a simple, meditative form of worship, with repetitive song and music, prayerful silence, and short readings to guide the focus of the prayer in a candle-lit environment.
With the mission of healing the divisions between Christians and within the human family, a monastic community was founded in 1940 in southeastern Taizé, France. Today Taizé is an ecumenical community which includes 100 brothers from over 20 different countries. Taizé Prayer seeks to create a space where reconciliation becomes a concrete reality every day.
Meditative Taizé Prayer Services at EPC are at 7 pm on the second Tuesday of each month, September through January.
For other Taizé Prayer Services in the Atlanta area, see Taizé Atlanta.
