Taize Prayer

Deepen your Advent journey at our Taizé services at St. Matthew Church! Join us on Wednesday, December 18, starting at 6:00 PM.

Taizé worship dates back to 1940, when a community of Catholic and Protestant brothers was formed in Taizé, France.

Today, Taizé services are held across the globe and continue to grow in popularity. Taizé offers a great opportunity for you to slow down and feel more centered spiritually. Taizé worship combines prayer, silent meditation, candlelight, and special music. Some music involves simple chants repeated several times until they take on a meditative, spiritual quality. Taizé music and worship are peaceful and reflective, taking you to a place of rest, openness, and receptivity to God’s presence.
