Taize service


Sunday 29th June
7.30pm
Taize-style service at Ashley.


For me the striking thing about Taize services is sitting in silence for a few minutes, and the simple songs that say wonderful things, often in other languages; like 'Dans nos obscurites' which means in our darkest times, and goes on with 'you kindle a fire that never dies away'. How great is that!

There are some quotes I am really fond of that spring from Taize - including one that Hannah talked about once -

You are never alone. Let yourself be plumbed to the depths and you will see that, in your heart of hearts, in the place where no two people are alike, Christ is waiting for you.
