=== (20) Advent Taize @ MIT ===
December 13 at 8 PM /MIT Chapel. Text is Luke 1: 46-48, My soul magnifies
the Lord, as we rejoice with Mary while we wait for the coming of the holy
child. On this night, we will adorn our altar with festive seasonal
decorations and sing settings of the Magnificat as we pray together. Song &
Stillness: Taizé @ MIT is a simple and calming ecumenical evening prayer
service. Using the music of the Taizé community in France, this 35-minute
service includes short readings from Christian scripture, candlelight,
meditative singing, and time for silence. Grounded in the contemplative
Christian tradition, the service is open to all.

TCC wishes all a blessed, safe and joyous holiday season and break!
