Contemplative Service
Last Tuesday of month 6:30 p.m.
This service, lasting 30 to 40 minutes, is based on the Taize Prayer service of the monastic community in Taize,
France. It is a simple worship service centered on singing, scriptures & prayers, and silence. The overall tone
of the service is meditative and involves interacting with God in an atmosphere of quiet and peace. The lights
are low; candles are lit; there is the sound of a small water fountain in the background.

Worship takes place in Highland's beautiful English Gothic sanctuary
with its stone walls and wooden trusses, built in 1914 at the corner of Grinstead Road and Cherokee Road.
The most notable features of
the sanctuary are the ten sets of stained glass windows depicting 60 women and men of faith, forming a powerful
"cloud of witnesses"
that surround the congregation in worship. Overlooking the sanctuary is the larger
"Revelation" window
depicting hope in the victorious, Risen Lord.
