Beloved Community
 

 

The worship tradition of our weekly Wednesday night service began many years ago in the ecumenical French monastic community called Taizé. In this tradition, worship is a time of quiet meditation, reflection, hearing God’s word, and singing prayer.

Over time, we have adapted and re-adapted this tradition at MCC San Francisco, ever embracing transformation in worship as we seek transformation in ourselves and in our world.

Sing, light candles, pray, or meditate: you are invited to participate as the Spirit moves you. There is repetition in the words of the music, there are many periods of silence, and the readings are read slowly — all so that we may have a deep quiet grow in our hearts. Then we may be still and be at peace in the presence of God.

 

Taizé Choir

Music is at the heart of Taizé worship.

The service offers meditative music in the style of the Taizé community as well as from other traditions, in an intimate and reflective worship experience.

If you are interested in joining the group of musicians at this service as a vocalist or instrumentalist, please contact:
