Prayer with Songs from Taize

Prayer in the style inspired by the Taize Community in France with readings, intercessions, silence and simple meditative chants is an excellent form of prayer for a gathering of people from different Christian traditions or different nationalities. All welcome.

Taizé: Prayer around the Cross
Friday 12 March 8pm at Hinde Street Methodist Church, W1
A special ecumenical Prayer around the Cross in the Taizé style

All welcome! The prayer begins at 8pm, with an optional open song practice from 7.30pm.
For directions etc see www.hindestreet.org.uk or www.taize.fr
