Taize Healing Service

Taize’ Healing Service

Sunday, April 22, 2012

6:30 PM

A worship service
of reconciliation for personal loss

This service is held in conjunction with a program of Suicide Awareness and Prevention at all services on the weekends of April 21-22, and 28-29.  This will be a very peaceful service of healing, and it is offered to all members of the community whose lives have been touched by tragedy and loss, particularly for those who are survivors of
those who have been victims of suicide. The music
for the service comes from the Taize’ Community, which is an ecumenical monastic order in France.  These pieces
are soothing and easy to hear and sing, using simple repeated phrases from the Psalms, or other parts of Scripture.  The congregation will be invited to participate in singing and in the prayers as much as is comfortable for each participant, and to sit for personal prayer and
reflection as times of silence are observed. 

The laying on of hands and anointing for healing will be offered for any wishing to receive this ministry. 

For more information, please call the Parish Office at 860-749-2722.
