Prayer Service for Peace in the Spirit of Taize
Service to be held on October 12th at 7 PM at Historic Grace Episcopal Church in Elkridge, 5805 Main Street Elkridge, MD 21075.
The entire community is invited to come and pray through silence, scripture, inspired words and song. We will pray for peace in our world. It will inspire you and still your soul. Come and experience the beautiful prayer that we can make with our voices and our hearts. The Sancte Spiritus Taize Choir will lead those attending in song.
Prayer in the spirit of Taizé (pronounced “teh-ZAY”) is an ecumenical form of prayer, for Christians of all traditions, modeled after a monastic community in Taizé, France. It is a very different experience from a ‘normal’ church service. No one stands up front; there is no sermon. The church is lit by candles. The simple service is meditative in character, consisting of songs, scripture, a service of light, an extended period of silence for meditation, and prayers for the world.
The Sancte Spiritus Taize Choir is a local, ecumenical choir consisting of people from many local Christian communities whose mission is minister through song and prayer to the people of the Greater Baltimore Area. They have provided their ministry at local churches such as St. Clement’s Catholic Church Lansdowne, Crucifixion Catholic Church in Glen Burnie, Our Saviour Lutheran Church in Lansdowne, Holy Family Catholic Church in Davidsonville, Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Glen Burnie and St William of York Catholic Church in Catonsville.
