| Join us for the Taize Healing & Peace Service Dear CHPC congregation: We hope you will join us Wednesday, August 19th at 7 pm for a “virtual” Taize Healing & Peace Service. This service will focus on the anxiety we are all facing due to the pandemic. As we grieve individually, as a local community, and as a nation, it is helpful to have a sacred space to express those sorrows. This service always includes an anointing of oil. It looks a bit different “virtually” as we are given the opportunity to participate in our own anointing. If you choose, please find a special bowl and pour in it some olive oil (or any cooking oil you have) to use during our time together. You may also want to have a candle close to you to light to help create your own sacred space. This is all optional – and if you don’t have any oil – you may use the oil present on your own thumb for your anointing. This will be a time of song, silence and prayer. Please join us!
