In-Person Service: September 26, 2021
2021-09-26 18:30 - 19:45 (America/Chicago) | San Gabriel Presbyterian Church, Georgetown, Texas, 5404 Williams Drive, Georgetown, 78633
The Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service returns to in-person services in 2021-2022, with the first gathering on September 26. This season, we will meet at San Gabriel Presbyterian Church, Georgetown Texas. Open to the public.
As before, we will pray together by combining two very special types of worship services: the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. We are 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 anointing by ministers. Communion is offered to all in attendance, with pre-packaged and gluten-free elements available.
About the meditations: Our subject for the coming season is, “The Lord’s Prayer.” Brief homilies will be prepared by area ministers, and guided by a senior pastor. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each topic. 2021-2022 topics are:

About the songs: Taizé Prayer chants are congregational, made of short phrases that are repeated for ease of participation. In our services, we always sing in English, but for an idea of how the songs sound, please enjoy this YouTube playlist.

About COVID-19 and safety: All are welcome at the Georgetown Ecumenical Wholeness Service. While COVID continues to challenge us, we will provide for in-person worship with a well-ventilated, flexible space where social distancing and close seating are both possible.
We hope to see you, our friends and neighbors, in 2021-2022.
