Taize Order of Service for Schools

An order of service suitable for a school service that last for just under one hour. The service covers the Passion, Resurrection and Pentecost. Selected Taize chants are printed in two part harmony (for some) as well as a few popular style hymns. It provides opportunities for some performances by school students as well as vocal solos for either senior students or adults. The language used in the readings are simple and paraphrased to enable younger children to understand and relate to the bible stories. Preparatory materials (not included here) include prayer slips completed by students before the day of the service as well as a prayer box where they are presented on the altar.
