Taizé Experience On Tuesday, 18th March 2025 at 7pm, the Holy Ghost Church will be hosting a Taizé Experience. Taizé is a Christian Ecumenical Community founded by Brother Roger in post-war France. He aimed to create a community where people could understand and reconcile with each other, embodying a parable of communion. The event, organised by the Coastal Churches of Exmouth, focuses on young people and young adults aged 15 to 35. It will feature meditative Taizé music, interspersed with short readings, periods of silence, intercessory prayer, and candle lighting. The evening will conclude with praise and worship singing, along with an opportunity for prayer ministry. A reception will be held in the church hall afterwards, providing a chance to meet others. Attendance is free but places are limited, so it's essential to reserve your spot by emailing the parish office at exmouth@prcdtr.org.uk. For inquiries, you can call 01395 263384. If you are under 18, you must submit parent or guardian consent forms by 14th March, which can be obtained from the parish office. Additionally, if you are under 16, you must be accompanied by an adult.
