We hold a meditative Taizé service in St Faith's church on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 7pm to encourage people to encounter God in a new way. The informal candlelit service is quiet and reflective, and can includes Bible readings, prayers, reflections and times of silence as well as music. The service lasts about 35 minutes and the chants are simple, easy to learn and very beautiful.About Taizé
Taizé is the home of an international ecumenical Christian community in southern Burgundy, France, made up of over a hundred brothers. It was founded by Brother Roger during World War II to work for reconciliation among Christians and through this for the reconciliation and peace of the world.
Regular times of prayer, chants and silence are at the heart of the community’s daily life and thousands of young people travel there every year to take part in this form of prayer and reflection. The profound simplicity and beauty of the worship is now also used in services around the world, inspired by the ideals of justice and reconciliation which it embodies.
Everyone is welcome to join us for this contemplative time of music and silence surrounded by candlelight.
Come and find the time to relax, reflect and rest in God.
