SUMMARY:Taizé Evening Prayers\, May 3\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:We’ve rescheduled our postponed January service Round Rock\, where we will pray in the intimate chapel of St. Philip’s United Methodist Church. Our Taizé Evening Prayer service on this night will focus on the topic\, “Pilgrims of Hope / Pilgrims of Peace.”\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. Meetings take place on these dates and in these locations: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate\nTopic\nSite\n\n\n\n\nSeptember 28\nCourage to Hope\nSan Gabriel Presbyterian Church\n\n\nNovember 2 *\nListening to People of Hope / Celebration of Saints\nSan Gabriel Presbyterian Church\n\n\nNovember 23 *\nTaizé Evening Prayers\nSt. Joseph’s Episcopal Church (Salado)\n\n\nDecember 21 *\nStriving for Hope / Christmas by Candlelight\nSan Gabriel Presbyterian Church\n\n\nFebruary 22\nRemaining People of Hope\nSan Gabriel Presbyterian Church\n\n\nMarch 29\nEaster Hope\nSan Gabriel Presbyterian Church\n\n\nApril 26\nTaizé Evening Prayers\nSt. Joseph’s Episcopal Church (Salado)\n\n\nMay 3*\nTaizé Evening Prayers * Rescheduled from January 25\nSt. Philip’s United Methodist (Round Rock)\n\n\nMay 31\nPilgrims of Hope / Pilgrims of Peace\nSan Gabriel Presbyterian Church\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the songs: Taizé Prayer chants are congregational\, made of short phrases that are repeated for ease of participation.
