Taizé Service Announcement
Hope ChapelAugust 9th, 2022HopeArts

Occurring every 3rd Sunday of the month (except for holidays), beginning at 7:00 P.M. theTaizé Service is a contemplative, liturgical service following the lectionary calendar. Numerous moments of silence, liturgy, and lectio divina readings are built into an aestheticaly oriented prayer service. Taizé Services closely follow the French Taizé Community model, a community which began in 1940, and currently boast a community of 100 Catholic and various Protestants who live their lives together as, “a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

Charlie and Alana Krieg have been serving in New Zealand for the last 4 years with Steiger International Ministries and are returning briefly to share stories! On June 26 bring your lunch to service and join the Kriegs on the playground afterwards for an informal hang out and catch up. They have been ministering to young people in an unprecedented time and surely have much to share!
