Lent Taizé Prayer Service
Sunday, February 25 at 7:00 PM
Saint James Church
*** and livestreamed on Facebook ***
Imagine the scene. Silence. Church lights dim. In the sanctuary, dozens of candles flicker near icons. In pews, worshipers hold their own candles, long and slim, then light each others’ one by one until the church is alive with even more candlelight. They chant together, slowly repeating a single line over and over as they rise and carry candles toward the altar, adding their own flames to the ones already burning.
Returning to pews, worshipers then sit in silence just beholding this magical scene: small flames around the altar like a sunburst in shadowy darkness. There is no other light. There is no sound save the occasional cough. And nothing moves, save the flames, which dance.
This is a Taizé prayer service. Join us at Saint James Church on Sunday, February 25 at 7:00 PM to experience this moving form of prayer as part of our journey through Lent.
No registration required! Just come and enjoy!
