Taizé Service

A Taizé service was held at St. Columba's on Sunday 24th September at 8.00 p.m. Most of the chairs were removed and candles were lit to create an open, welcoming worship space.

At the heart of a Taizé service is meditative prayer and singing. Taizé songs are short songs, repeated over and over again. With just a few words, they express a basic reality of faith, which gradually penetrates the whole being as the words are sung many times. During the service there was a long period of silence to help quieten the mind and soul to focus on God.

More information about Taizé worship and the Taizé community can be found on the Taizé Community website.

The next Taizé service will be held on Sunday 29th October at St. Columba's at 8.00 p.m. All welcome.
