During this part of our service, you are invited to move throughout the Sanctuary and participate in any or all of these stations as we seek hope and healing in Jesus’s name. We will sing songs from the Taizé community during this time—short, repeating refrains that allow us to meditate and pray as we sing.
- Anointing with Oil: You may come forward to one of the prayer stations and indicate how they can pray for you as they anoint you with oil.
- Candle Lighting: You may move to the Annex, the right side of the Sanctuary, and light a candle in honor of a loved one.
- Prayer at the Altar Rail: You may come forward to kneel at the altar rail in prayer.
- Memory Star: You may move to Beasley Parlor in the back of the Sanctuary and write the name of a loved one on a star ornament as you say a prayer of thankfulness for the gift of their life.
