Good Friday

Come. Sit with the silence.

On Good Friday, we do not rush past the cross toward Easter morning. We stay. We wait. We let the weight of this day rest upon us.

You are invited to a Taizé service of prayer, chant, and contemplative silence — a space to enter honestly into the mystery of Christ's suffering and death, without explanation or resolution.

The Taizé tradition, born from a community of reconciliation in Burgundy, France, offers simple, repeated chants that quiet the mind and open the heart. There is room here for the kind of prayer that has no words.

Easter Sunday

April 5 at 9:30 am

He is risen!

These three words have been spoken across twenty centuries — whispered in catacombs, sung in cathedrals, proclaimed in storefronts and fields and village squares in every language on earth. They are among the most tested words in human history, and they have not worn out.

Come and hear these words for yourself.

We gather to sing, to pray, to receive bread and cup, and to sit together with the oldest and most startling news ever told. Whether you come full of faith, full of questions, or simply full of longing — there is a place for you here.
