St. Saviour’s:

Taizé service - 7pm on Thursday, June 21. The Taizé style of chant reflects both the simplicity of life of the abbey, and the community’s commitment to an all-embracing, ecumenical approach to ritual and prayer. The service moves gently, ebbing and flowing through its succession of chants, silent reflection, and the reading of scripture. Silence is key to the service, allowing you to be not only active in the voicing of your prayer, but contemplative in your openness to hear and experience the compassionate, forgiving Christ, whose image we see beckoning peace and reconciliation. Come experience another form of worship with members of the community.

Silent and Chinese Auctions and Yard Sale to benefit the Outreach Programs of St. Saviour's Parish. Saturday, June 30 from 9-2, Sunday, July 1 from 11:30 to 3pm. St. Saviour's Parish, 41 Mt.
