Taizé Prayer Service for Lent

  • St. Peter's Episcopal Church 33 Throckmorton St Freehold, NJ 07728 USA (map)

Taizé Prayer is evening prayer for all Christian faiths. It is a simple, meditative form of worship, coming from the ecumenical prayer community in Taizé, France. The music and prayers call us to dwell deeply on Christ's presence around and within us. Mantra songs (like "Jesus, Remember Me"), prayerful silence, and short readings guide the focus of the prayer in a candle-lit environment.  Icons will also be set up as prayer stations for those who wish to move around during the silence or spend time in prayer after the service.  You can see a video of a sample Taizé service.
