FIRST THURSDAY MONTHLY 6 PM
UUCSR’s evening contemplative Taize service takes place the first Thursday of every month from 6:00 to 6:45 p.m. It is held in an intimate candlelit setting in the sanctuary.
The service is based on the chanting and meditation service created by the Taize (pronounced taysay) spiritual community in Burgundy, France over 80 years ago. UUCSR’s Taize service includes short readings, the chanting of songs from our UU tradition, silent meditation, and the lighting of candles. The intention of this short contemplative service is to create a place of tranquility that allows you to connect with the Spirit of Life in a deep way.
If you have questions or would like more information, please contact Judy Withee.

Rev. Amy writes, "When I first explored UUCSR and learned that we held a Taizé service several Sundays a year, I knew I would find my people here . . . You’ve probably had experiences when a moment of relaxed receptivity has allowed peace and perspective to flow into you. If you cherish and need these experiences, then UUCSR’s Taizé services await you." You can read the rest of why she loves Taizé here.
