We welcome you to our monthly service of Taize style worship.
Taize is a small village in the Burgundy region of France, which since the late 1940s has been home to a remarkable community of Catholic and Protestant monks. They have become known for a very distinctive and very simple style of worship, characterised chiefly by the use of simple meditative chants, candlelight, contemplative reading of Scripture and silence. It is informal: no-one dresses up, no-one processes, people sit, stand or kneel as seems right to them. Please enjoy this freedom tonight. However, the informality also feels very traditional and the overall ethos is one of a gently contemplative spirituality.
People from all over the world come to worship at Taizé, and so the body of songs associated with the community has a very international flavour. Not all of the songs are easily translatable into English – at least, not in a way that also fits with the music. It would be a shame only to sing those that are, and so in this service there are some songs with words in Latin or Spanish. However, the essence of a Taizé song is that the words are very short, repeated, and easy-to-absorb. With the English translation also provided in this booklet, the fact that we’re singing in a different language shouldn’t pose that much of a barrier to prayer. It might even be good for us, by reminding us of the global character of God’s Church. We hope that you are able to join us.

We shall be walking to St Albans leaving the church hall car park at 11.00am. If you would like breakfast, please let the office know. Breakfast will be at 10.00am following communion in St Lawrence at 9.30am. 1.00pm arrive at the Abbey - please feel free to join us at the Abbey even if you have not been able to walk with us. Bring a packed lunch to enjoy in the Abbey Orchard, before processing into the Abbey from 2.30pm, for the service which starts at 3.00pm. For those walking to St Albans from elsewhere in the area the Church of the Ascension (Tin Church), Bedmond will be open between 11.00am and 2.00pm for a refreshment break.

Whether you've never been to church before, or are an old pro, you are so welcome at our monthly informal afternoon service. We meet for snacks and drinks at 3.30pm, with the service starting at 4pm, and we would love to see you there!

This Lent, we invite you to join us for a lent group looking at some of the most notable heresies in the history of the Church. Heresy 101: A Lent Journey Through Error and Truth. 7 week course. All are welcome.
