Another Ash Wednesday is here for those of us who keep the Christian calendar. This year at my church, Memorial Congregational Church of Sudbury, it was a Taize service. The church email offered this:
Ash Wednesday Taizé Service - Wednesday, February 22 at 7:30pm.
Taizé services are characterized by quiet and candlelight, the repetition of melodious chants sung many times in many languages, a period of silence, and contemplative prayer. Let the songs sing themselves in you. Once you catch the tune, let yourself find the words -- in your heart or as you listen to your brothers and sisters as they sing. Let your spirit move along the path provided by rhythmic repetition, deeper and deeper into the stillness and beauty of God's presence.
