Labyrinth, Simple Supper & Taize
February First Friday
Service Description
Join us on February 7th (the first Friday of the month) for an evening of contemplative prayer and fellowship. These “first Fridays” are evolving as people join in, offer their gifts and contributions, and expand what a common experience of contemplative prayer can be. Come early (during the 5-6pm hour) as we host space for a labyrinth walk. If you’ve never walked a labyrinth before, come at 5pm when Val Hornburg & Tom Welch provide orientation. Or simply arrive and engage in your own walking prayer. At 6pm, our simple supper (by potluck) will be set out buffet style. It is our intention to use the common table for the purpose of relishing the company of one another and learning to see our neighbors. Then at 7pm, we will gather for a Franciscan-hosted prayer service in the style of Taizé. Taizé is a prayerful form of music known for its stillness, depth, and meditative quality. In the service an ebb and flow of chanting, singing, and silence is used alongside Scripture reading and prayer around the cross. In this way, prayer and daily life may be united. In a spirit reminiscent of the community known as Taizé and founded in 1940 France, we too may birth the miracle of reconciliation in our world. This is a free event but please register below so we may prepare space for you. 3159 Furman Drive, Marylhurst, OR 97036. February 7th, 5-8pm (come for all or any part of the evening).
