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.

Advent is a time of preparation to greet the One we call the Prince of Peace. Our Advent series explores this peace, which passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7), ways we can experience that peace more fully in our lives, and ways we can be servants of God’s peace for others. We’ll meet Tuesday evenings in the Chapel (entrance on the left side of St. Peter’s Church). If you cannot join us in person, a Zoom option is available.
