Taize Service

  • Christ Church Portola Valley and Woodside 815 Portola Road Portola Valley, CA, 94028 United States (map)

An hour-long service of contemplative music and prayer.

A Taizé service is a meditative, ecumenical Christian worship service originating from the monastic Taizé Community in France. Founded by Brother Roger (Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche) in the 1940s, it focuses on prayer, silence, and song, specifically designed to foster reconciliation and peace. Services are characterized by candlelight, repetitive chants (ostinatos), and profound, extended silence for contemplation.
