Taizé Prayer
Taizé Prayer is an Ecumenical form of Prayer modeled after an ecumenical community founded in the 1940's by Br. Roger in Taizé, France. The purpose of the prayer is meant to foster reconciliation and peace among all people. Christians of all traditions share in this ecumenical group. A committee prepares the prayer space one hour before the service.
The Taizé Prayer Service is held every year on January 1, the World Day of Prayer for Peace, at 7:30 PM. Each month, February through December, Taizé Prayer is held on the First Friday at 7:30 PM.
Ascension has Taizé recordings, music books, and prayer books available after the evening prayer services.
