Sunday, September 10th: Sweet Hour of Prayer
Good Morning,
Join us for Sunday School and Worship at 9:30 AM and 10:50 AM, respectively, this Sunday, September 10th.
The worship tradition represented in Sunday’s service began many years ago in the ecumenical French monastic community called Taize. It offers a quiet service of meditation, reflection, readings and music. The experience finds its true meaning in the active participation of all assembled by focusing and deepening our faith through the power of prayer. Therefore, participate as the Spirit moves you, whether that be in song, prayer, or quiet meditation.
Much of our modern personal need is for entertainment . We have “busy” souls. The liturgy that has developed around the Taize community is primarily for the Worship of God, but it is also meant to quiet the soul. This quietness does not happen at once, but gradually during the worship. There is repetition in the words of the music, there are many periods of silence, and the readings are read slowly—all so that we may experience deep quiet growing in our hearts. Then we may be still and be at peace in the Presence of God.
