Taizé here and in France

This morning about 40 young adults will gather at Volmoed for a “Taizé day” under the theme “Advent hope for young people”. Besides the local young people, there will be 15 young people from Khayelitsha in Cape Town and others from across the Western Cape.

    Also, one of our delegates to Taizé in France (Cleo) returns home this morning after five weeks in France due to personal reasons. We will embrace her upon her return. We have been getting photographs and videos from Masixole: this week they experienced snow in France!

Just complete the form: https://forms.gle/sGoyj7XzfAjbNqQw6

    Let us gather to be in solidarity, which is an effort to bring the body of Christ together, uniting us through song, praise, silence, workshop/s and listening to the Word and each other, as we strive to rekindle the ecumenical spirit in with our beloved South Africa and beyond. We would love to make this an inclusive and intergenerational event. The gathering will take place at Volmoed Retreat Centre in Hemel-en-Aarde.
