TAIZE service set

All are welcome to the ecumenical TAIZE service at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22, at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 525 N. Fifth Ave. In a meditative candlelit atmosphere that includes singing simple repetitive songs, one may simply sit peacefully during the hour-long service or join in the chorus while experiencing the calming effect of being in God’s presence.

There will be NO TAIZE services in November, December and January, because of holidays and winter weather. The services resume in February.
