new Sunday worship service starts Aug 5 - Fairlawn West UCC, Taize/Iona service

For seven years we have had a Taize worship service weekly on Friday evenings. We are shifting that service to Sundays at 11:00 am in the sanctuary starting Sunday, August 5, 2007. The Taize service grew out of the Taize community in France which started after WW II as a spiritual renewal setting for the youth of Europe. Today it is a world center for youth who come to spend a week in discussion and worship.

We use the prayer songs from Taize and the Celtic Christian retreat center of Iona in Scotland. There is also spoken prayer and extended times of silent meditation.

visiting Eco-Friendly church building June 24

On Sunday June 24th we are visiting the 2006 award winning energy efficient, eco-friendly building of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Wayne County on the north side of Wooster. We will leave right after our 9:30 am worship service. We will tour the building. Visit with folks who organized the congregational in building the building and those who supervised its building.

Then it begins for us...what will we do? Even with the major renovation we did 8 years ago, there is a lot more for us to consider in this vein.
