There is no Taize service on December 17th, but if you are wanting to be in Sacred Space to prepare your heart during this Advent Season, join Karin and I at the Mark Centre where we will be participating in 'Making Room for Him'. This is an Open House at this retreat centre, where each room will be a place where one can take time to prepare one's heart through accessing the different senses. Karin and I will be playing music in the chapel from 5:00-6:30pm. The Open House is from 4-7pm.

The mountains call
out to me
They speak through their beauty
Of One who is
beyond all things
Giver of Life
Hope of my dreams

A bird takes flight
And lifts me up
To see beyond my current sight
To One who is beyond all things
Giver of Life
Hope of my dreams

The ocean vast
So deep and wide
As is your love, sure as the tide
The One who is beyond all things
Giver of Life
Hope of my dreams

a new song.......
