2026 Contemplative Service Series

The All Saints Contemplative Service Series offers sacred space for reflection, prayer, and stillness. Through the gentle rhythms of music from Taizé, Iona, and Cursillo—alongside new prayers and songs—we create room for both silence and sound, joy and lament.



This is an invitation to pause amid the world's hurry: to breathe deeply, to listen, and to rest in God's presence. As Brother John of Taizé writes, "It is a time to rest in God, to let the words listened to and sung penetrate one's being."
