Songs and Prayers from Taizé at Kenwyn Church
2021-09-12 16:30 - 17:30 (Europe/London) | kenwyn Church
Please join Kenwyn Church for Songs and Prayers from Taizé at 4.30pm on the second Sunday of each month.
Taizé worship originated in the French Christian community of that name. It embodies short bible readings, prayers and simple sung refrains separated by periods of silence that foster meditation. There is no preaching. We will start with a run-through of any unfamiliar tunes so you should find it easy to join in with the singing but you are welcome just to come, listen, pray and enjoy the atmosphere. All are welcome.
