The Lynne Bleich Weber Ecumenical Chapel
is a lovely and quiet space that is open 24/7 for prayer and meditation. The chapel was re-named in 2018 celebrating the 25th anniversary of our rector's ordination. Lynne Weber has served as Diocesan Ecumenical and Interreligious Officer for 20 years, and also assists at the national level.
Taize Prayers
7:00 pm on seven Sundays/year in the Chapel
Looking for a more meditative form of worship? Look no further! Our Taizé service is a candlelight service of simple songs, scripture, prayer, and ten minutes of silence. It is designed to encourage people of different Christian backgrounds, or none at all, to worship together. The songs, using just a few words, are sung many times in a meditative way, to allow our hearts and minds to find peace in God's presence. The service is accompanied by piano, flute, drum, and voice.
Our Taizé service is described by one of our members as “the most peaceful 45 minutes in my busy life.”
