Valentines for Veterans

 

The Oscar Foss Memorial Library is collecting valentines for veterans again this year. Come in any time before Valentine’s Day and make a card (or two!) for us to send as a way to show our appreciation to these brave soldiers. You can also drop off cards for us to send if you prefer to make them at home. Thank you for your support.

Taizé Ash Wednesday Worship Service

 

The Congregational Church of North Barnstead (CCNB) cordially invites the public to attend a Taizé Ash Wednesday Worship Service, February 10, at 7:00 p.m.

 

Taizé is an informal, ecumenical prayer service with a focus on reconciliation, peace, and social justice. Comprised of prayers, sacred silence, Scripture readings and songs, its underlying aim is for those gathered to enter together into the mystery of God’s presence. The songs are short, containing words from the Psalms or other Scripture. Sung communally and repetitively, they become a unifying prayer and engender inner stillness. For this service, a special ritual of “Ashes and Light” will lead us into the Lenten season.

 

Taizé worship began 75 years ago in Taizé, a small village in the Burgundy region of France. It has spread world-wide by people seeking to promote peace and reconciliation where they live and work. Each year, Taizé attracts over 100,000 people.

 

This peaceful service is in candlelight and lasts 45 minutes. CCNB, a “year round” church built in 1820, is at 504 North Barnstead Road. Please come and join in as we begin the season of Lent. All are welcome!
