Responding
 Prayers of the People Lindsey Altvater, MDiv '16
...God, in your grace,

Hear our prayers.
 The Lord's Prayer
Eternal Spirit, Earth-maker, Pain-bearer, Life-giver,

Source of all that is and that shall be,
Father and Mother of us all,
Loving God, in whom is heaven:
The hallowing of your name echo through the universe!
The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the world!
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings!
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom sustain our hope and come on earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In times of temptation and test, strengthen us.
From trials too great to endure, spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil, free us.
For you reign in the glory of the power that is love, now and forever. Amen.
In the Lord I’ll Be Ever Thankful

Notes for Today’s Worship
Music
All of the music in today’s worship service is in the Taizé tradition. Taizé is a monastic
community in southeastern France. It was founded in 1940 with the mission of healing the
divisions between Christians and within the human family. This community seeks to create a
community where reconciliation could become a concrete reality every day. It is an ecumenical
community which includes 100 brothers from over twenty different countries.
Thousands of Christian people from all over the world, young and old, gather at Taizé every
week to pray, to search, to sing, and to find refreshment and renewal.
The worship of Taizé is marked by depth and simplicity, consisting of much singing along with
significant periods of silent meditation.
Singing is one of the most essential elements of worship. Short songs, repeated again and
again, give it a meditative character. As the words are sung over many times, this reality gradu-
ally penetrates the whole being and thus becomes a way of listening to God. It allows everyone
to take part in a time of prayer together in attentive waiting on God, without having to fix the
length of time too exactly.
To open the gates of trust in God, nothing can replace the beauty of human voices united in
song. This beauty can give us a glimpse of “heaven’s joy on earth.” And an inner life begins to
blossom within us.
Through these Taizé chants, little by little, our being finds an inner unity in God. The songs can
continue in the silence of our hearts when we are at work, speaking with others, or resting. In
this way prayer and daily life are united. They allow us to keep on praying even when we are
unaware of it, in the silence of our hearts.
