Wednesday Prayer and Worship
 

HIGHLIGHTS

Take time from your hurried week and your busy schedule to come and worship Almighty God with us each Wednesday evening at 5:45 pm in the sanctuary.

This worship service will continue in the Taizé style from which it began with scripture readings, prayer, silence and Holy Communion. This year we've added a short homily as an offering of reflection and a word of proclamation on each week's texts by one of Trinity's pastors.
  
What is Taizé?

Taizé worship is a deeply moving candlelit service of music, silence, scripture, prayer and communion which provides a time to bring our burdens and the burdens of the world to the cross of Christ. Because prayer is trust, we put ourselves and our needs into God's hands.

The goal is to enable participants to remain open to the voice of God and discover the prayer within themselves. What you will find at a Taizé Worship Service is a time of quiet prayer in candlelit surroundings with beautiful simple singing. You will find a change to feel yourself surrounded by the mystery, compassion, and goodness of God. 

It is a service intentionally planned to welcome all. Children are encouraged to come and participate in this worship. Children are invited to participate. The sounds of children are music to God's ears. 

Founded in 1940 in France by a monastic community, Taizé services were begun by Protestant and Roman Catholic believers for breaking down barriers between Christians. Today they are meaningful ecumenical services that many enjoy worldwide. Taizé style of worship features short meditative songs, which are easily learned and sung repetitively; these songs then become a deep prayer encompassing the depths of our beings. You're invited to participate with an open spirit in this experience of prayer.

When: Wednesdays at 5:45 p.m. 
Where:
Trinity Sanctuary
Who: All are welcome
(The last Wednesday of each month will include a healing service)

"Right at the depth of the human condition, lies the longing for a presence, the silent desire for a communion. Let us never forget that this simple desire for God is already the beginning of faith."
