Seattle Girls Choir Concert Here at TUMC
Thursday, June 25 at 5pm
Prime Voci, the premier ensemble of the internationally acclaimed Seattle Girls Choir, performs here at TUMC on Thursday, June 25, at 5pm. This special concert is a send-off performance before the ensemble departs on a European tour.
The Seattle Girls Choir was founded in 1982 by our own Dr. Jerome “Jerry” Wright, who today serves as our Choir Director! Under his direction, the ensemble rose to national and international prominence, performing from Benaroya Hall to the great cathedrals of Europe.
Admission is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be received to benefit the choir.
Taizé Prayer Service
June 24 - 4th Wednesday of the Month in the Sanctuary at 6:30pm
Taizé worship includes candlelight, icons, prayers, readings, silence, and repetitive musical chants. In Taizé’s simple, meditative services, icons are spiritual tools that provide a visual focus to encourage stillness and support prayer. Grounded in the belief in the incarnation, icons act as “windows” into divine reality.
This contemplative worship service offers an opportunity to step away from the commotion of everyday life and experience silence, while centering on the Lord. You are invited to come and listen to what God is saying to you and find peace in this troubled world.
