Friday TAIZE SERVICE on September 5th

The First Friday of every month - from September to May (not during the summer months) – Northshore UCC offers a very different way to ease out of the busy week into an intentionally spirit-filled place. Taize is a brief service first started by a Catholic priest to give any person—of any denomination -- a place to heal, pray for peace, reflect.

It’s a simple, quiet experience of peaceful candlelight, simple chants, one reading, and silent reflection. Since its inception, the Taize style of meditation, singing, and prayer has spread to many countries around the world. Each year, thousands of young people travel to the Taize community in France for week-long retreats of prayer and meditation. Seattle’s St. James’ Cathedral has long offered weekly Taize services that draw hundreds of worshipers from many religious traditions.
