On the first three Sundays of Advent, from 3 to 4 p.m., Dec. 3, 10 and 17, Taize prayer will be held at Sacred Heart Church.
Taize prayer involves the repetition of simple sung Christian chants, the reading of scripture, sharing of petitions, and silence. Everyone is invited to attend.
Taize is the name of the village in France where brothers of an ecumenical community reside and where young adults have been gathering for this type of prayer since the late 1950s. Many churches and retreat centers throughout the world regularly offer this type of meditative communal prayer.
Plans are in place to eventually have services at the Episcopal, Presbyterian and Catholic Churches in order to create an ecumenical community of Taize prayer in Red Bluff.
