May our prayers move us to strive for God 's justice and peace wherever we are.\nYou are invited to join a short and simple monthly time of prayers for peace with songs from Taizé\, at the end of the workday on first Thursdays of the month\, at St Philip Oak Bay (2928 Eastdowne\, at Neil). \nThe service starts at 5.45pm.\nIf you would like to warm up your voice and/or have some help learning the songs for t hat evening\, come earlier at 5.15pm for a short run-through of the melodi es and any non-English pronunciation.\nThe service of singing\, intercesso ry prayer\, and silence lasts only about half an hour and will end not lat er than 6.15pm.\nWe will enter and leave in silence. Congregational singin g will be supported by the piano as needed. As the church is already set u p for worship\, preparation is minimal: placing the Taizé icon in its sta nd with a tray for candles by it. St Philip's stained glass provides wonde rful light and colour to the space\, and you are welcome to light a candle by the Taizé icon at any time before or during the service. \nThe Taiz é icon of the Cross is upright\, as usual for depictions of the Crucifixi on. At this time of prayer\, we don't lay the icon flat. That is a practic e unique to Taizé\, done there only on Friday evenings. It is sometimes a dopted elsewhere\, but is not required or universal.\nIf you're interested in suggesting prayers\, reading or leading prayers or intercessions\, or contributing cantor parts or instrumental parts to the songs\, please cont act Anna.\nMore about music:\nEveryone present is part of the choir. Feel free to sing the melody or printed harmonies from wherever you are sitting . If you don't know the songs ar first\, don't worry - we'll repeat them m any times! The songs for each service will be listed here with link to an online score\, and added to this Youtube playlist \, for those who would l ike to listen to or learn them ahead of time. \n5 November: De noche  |  C'est toi ma lampe  | Domine deus  |  Heureux qui s'abandonne à toi\ n1 October: In the Lord I'll be ever thankful (El Senyor) | Fiez-vous en l ui | Jesu redemptor omnium | Da pacem\, domine \n3 September: Let us sing to the Lord (Bénissez le Seigneur) | Lord\, you are Living Water (Tu sei sorgente viva) | Vieni Spirito Creatore | Dona nobis pacem (canon)\n6 Aug ust: Da pacem cordium (canon)  | Tui amoris ignem | Holy Spirit\, loving Spirit (canon) | My peace I leave you\n2 July:  Dona nobis pacem 2   |   Nada te turbe  |  Nothing can ever  |  Peace I leave you (Frieden\, frieden)\n4 June: The Kingdom of God  |  Confitemini Domino  |  Ô To i\, l'au-delà de tout  |  Let all who are thirsty come\nPractice scores (for most songs) are available at https://archives.taize.fr/en_article103 08.html\nWe will sing in English\, French\, Latin\, and other languages\, as is the tradition and practice at Taizé.
