Taizé – New Day
The last Taizé service for the fall term has been changed to Wednesday,
November 15th.
The time and location remain the same. 7:30pm at the Center for Spiritual and Religious Life.
This ecumenical service of prayer, silence, song and chant is a great way to lead yourself into the final weeks before break. Taizé and the partnership with All Saints Episcopal Church will return again in the Winter term. Stay posted to the LU Spirit Space Facebook Page and the Office of SRL webpage for dates and times.
