Taizé Prayer - Friday, February 20th, 7:30pm
Begin the work of peace in yourself, so that once you are at peace yourself, you can bring peace to others. - St. Ambrose of Milan
The worship tradition in this service began many years ago in the ecumenical French monastic community called Taizé. It is a quiet service of meditation, reflection, music and prayer. Gathering in the presence of Christ we sing simple uncomplicated songs, uncluttered by too many words, allowing the mystery of God to become manifest through the beauty of simplicity. The liturgy is primarily for worship, but it is also meant to quiet the soul. The quietness does not happen all at once, but gradually during the worship. Then we may be still and at peace in the presence of God.
Taizé Prayer at St. Barnabas is held on the third Friday of the month at 7:30 PM.

Artists’ Salon: An Evening of Art and Conversation - Stay tuned for our next date!
The Artists' Salon is a conversation about creativity and spirituality, with artists and appreciators of art engaging each other. Artists play musical instruments, read poetry, perform monologues, sing, dance, and show artwork. A discussion with the artist follows each presentation. Edible art in the form of appetizers and beverages also makes us appreciate everything more! Meets quarterly.
