Anderson Japanese Gardens hosts Taize Worship Service July 14

From press release

Anderson Japanese Gardens, 318 Spring Creek Road, Rockford, will host—in partnership with Our Savior’s Church—the first Taize Worship Service at the Garden at 6:45 p.m., Wednesday, July 14, in the garden’s new Outdoor Pavilion.

The community is welcome and the Garden will be open to Taize guests at no charge after the service.

A Taize worship service provides a meditative spiritual experience of God’s presence and care. Participate in this reflective musical service that has enriched people of different Christian faith traditions around the world. Taize encourages a community “where kindness of heart and simplicity are at the center of everything.”

This is very much in alignment with the garden’s own mission: “In our hectic and stressful world, Anderson Japanese Gardens opens minds to a different culture while offering guests a place of peace and tranquility where they will find healing, renewal, inspiration, and a re-energized soul.”
