taizeworship service

Anderson Japanese Gardens is proud to announce it will be hosting, in partnership with Our Savior’s Church, the first Taize Worship Service at the Garden this Wednesday, July 14th at 6:45pm in the Garden’s new Outdoor Pavilion.The community is welcome and the Garden will be open to Taize guests at no charge after the service.

A Taize worship service provides a meditative spiritual experience of God’s presence and care.  Come and participate in this reflective, musical service that has enriched people of different Christian faith traditions around the world.  Taize encourages a community “where kindness of heart and simplicity are at the centre of everything.”  (www.taize.fr)  This is very much in alignment with the Garden’s own mission: “In our hectic and stressful world, Anderson Japanese Gardens opens minds to a different culture while offering guests a place of peace and tranquility where they will find healing, renewal, inspiration, and a re-energized soul.”
