Lectionary Text:
Psalm 139:1-12
…Taize is a small village in the eastern part of France. Since 1940 it has been the home of an ecumenical community of brothers where prayer, three times a day, is the center of life. Part of that prayer time is spent in singing short repetitive refrains or ostinatos (a repeated pattern). Thousands of people from around the world visit Taize every year.
Tonight we borrow from the tradition of Taize as we offer our prayers and meditations. At times there will be cantor parts that the congregation is asked to respond to with the repeated refrain. Feel free to sing some, stop and listen, find harmonies, and sing the rounds…
