Network Churches Introduce Taize Worship

Would you like to spend some time in peaceful quiet, surrounded by glowing candles and soft music, where the only voice you hear is the voice of God within? This restful and meditative form of worship, called Taize, can be found at two of the churches in our BP Network.

The Taize service of song, prayer, meditation, silence and rest originated in Taize, France. When First Baptist Church Gainesville offered their first Taize service in November, their members responded so positively that they have incorporated a monthly Taize service into their schedule through May.

"We had a contemplative prayer group that met during the season of Lent last year," explained Elizabeth Burnett, Associate Pastor of Discipleship at FBC Gainesville. "The group had a real desire to continue something similar beyond Lent, so we visited a Taize service at an Episcopal church in Atlanta. They loved the simplicity of the service, and wanted to bring it back to our church."
