SUMMARY:Seeking Community: April 26\, 2027
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Community \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA new family is born: the community of believers in Jesus\, the Church– born not in a human way out of triumph and victory\, but out of a love whichis greater than the mute silence of suffering   Br. Matthew of Taizé\n\n\n\nWhat are you seeking? These first words of Jesus in the Gospel of John are a question to two young people standing in the Jordan valley. Last year\, six young adults from six countries across four continents heard the same question. They answered: \n\n\n\nSilence. A direction. Joy. Meaning. A just world. Community. Peace.\n\n\n\nWhen Jesus asks His question\, the young people reply\, “Master\, where do you live?” Jesus tells them\, “Come and you will see.” (John 1:38-39) In his January 2026 letter\, Br. Matthew\, Prior of the Community of Taizé\, reflects on the words of the six volunteers\, and then responds with the Word of God. Our focus starts there\, with inspiration from Taizé’s annual letter for 2026\, “Que cherches-tu ?” Throughout our season\, we will bring these lessons home to Central Texas. \n\n\n\nPastors and lay speakers will prepare brief homilies and written words of inspiration throughout the year. Scripture will be selected for meditation based on each of the seasonal topics. We will worship using a combination of both the Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers on various dates. Service type and location will always be noted. \n\n\n\nAbout the Services\n\n\n\nOur meetings use two very special types of worship templates: the Protestant Service of Healing and Wholeness and Taizé Common Prayers. The Service of Healing and Wholeness\, found in many Protestant books of Common Worship\, is the root of our approach. Occasional evenings of pure Taizé prayer are offered throughout the year. The major difference between the two is that a Taizé Common Prayer service replaces a spoken homily with readings from the Bible. \n\n\n\nEven in the Services of Healing and Wholeness\, most congregational songs are from the Community of Taizé. In every service\, time is set aside for intercessory prayer\, candle lighting\, and private prayer with a minister. Many of our meetings offer open Communion\, with gluten-free elements available. All services are open to the public. \n\n\n\nCongregational songs\n\n\n\nTaizé Prayer chants are congregational\, made of short phrases that are repeated for ease of participation. Because Taizé represents over 100 countries worldwide\, the songs are translated into many languages. In our services\, we usually sing these songs in English. For an idea of how the songs sound in their original languages\, please enjoy this YouTube playlist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe hope to see you\, our friends and neighbors\, in 2026-2027.

SUMMARY:Seeking Peace: May 24\, 2027
DESCRIPTION:Seeking Peace \n\n\n\n\nBegin the work of peace within yourself\, so that\, once you are at peace\,you can bring peace to others.
