SUMMARY:Pilgrims of Hope / Pilgrims of Peace\, May 31\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:We conclude our 2025-26 season with the dual topic\, “Pilgrims of Hope / Pilgrims of Peace.” The season concludes with a meditation by youth cantor and speaker\, Jayden Mann.\nThe Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service is a candlelight\, contemplative prayer service that meets once per month. All services are open to the public. We pray together by using two very special types of worship templates: the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. We are led by a diverse community of area Christians\, and these services are open to all who would come. Songs are sung from the Community of Taizé. Opportunities are given for intercessory prayer and the lighting of candles. A time is set aside for private prayer and anointing with oil. Communion is offered to all in attendance\, with gluten-free elements available. About the meditations: Our subject for the coming season is “Hope Beyond All Hope.” It is based on the Taizé theme for 2025\, “Esperer au Dela de Toute Esperance\,” which considers perseverance and faith even in the worst of times. Brief homilies will be prepared by area pastors and lay speakers. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each topic. Events this season: Services will continue to take place one Sunday per month at 6:30 pm\, with some noted exceptions (*) around holidays in the November / December months.

SUMMARY:Listening to People of Hope / Celebration of the Saints\, November 2\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:In this All Saints Sunday service\, we focus on listening to hopeful stories as we bring back our popular celebration of Saints with a luminaria display at San Gabriel Presbyterian Church.

This year\, we plan to worship outdoors in the columbarium of Partner Church San Gabriel Presbyterian Church. The lanterns are both prepared and funded by the Wholeness Community\, as a gift to the Georgetown\, Texas area.

SUMMARY:Courage to Hope\, September 28\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service is a candlelight\, contemplative prayer service that meets once per month. All services are open to the public. We pray together by using two very special types of worship templates: the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. We are led by a diverse community of area Christians\, and these services are open to all who would come. Songs are sung from the Community of Taizé. Opportunities are given for intercessory prayer and the lighting of candles. A time is set aside for private prayer and anointing with oil. Communion is offered to all in attendance\, with gluten-free elements available. About the meditations: Our subject for the coming season is “Hope Beyond All Hope.” It is based on the Taizé theme for 2025\, “Esperer au Dela de Toute Esperance\,” which considers perseverance and faith even in the worst of times. Brief homilies will be prepared by area pastors and lay speakers. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each topic.
