Ash Wednesday Taizé Worship Service, March 6, 2019

 

The Congregational Church of North Barnstead (CCNB) cordially invites you to attend a contemplative, Ash Wednesday Taizé worship service, March 6 at 7:00 p.m.

 

Taizé is an informal, ecumenical prayer service focusing on reconciliation, peace, and social justice. Prayers, sacred silence, Scripture readings and songs encourage those gathered to enter together into the mystery of God’s presence. Organist and vocalist Cheryl Richardson will lead songs that are short and contain words of Scripture. Sung communally and repetitively, they become a unifying prayer and engender inner peace. For this service, the ritual of “Earth to Earth, Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust” will lead us into the Lenten season.

 

Taizé worship began 78 years ago in Taize’, a small village in the Burgundy region of France. It has spread world-wide by those seeking to promote peace and reconciliation where they live and work. Taizé attracts over 100,000 people each year.

 

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

Letter

 

Dear Folks of Barnstead,

I support and encourage voters to re-elect Ed Tasker to Board of Selectman this March. I have lived in Barnstead these past 36+ years, taking note of tradition in a conservative republican. A family legacy, being stoic and steadfast.

 

Ed Tasker is a man that has fortitude with compassion serving his community through his whole life. As well as a member of the Historical Society, past Conservation, Budget, Zoning Committees and  Planning Board member, he has worked with people honorably, having an open heart listening to his constituents.

 

Open-minded, thoughtful, and contemporary with the present problems of the day, he is candid with ideas of candle power and luminous intensity. Please vote for Ed Tasker, a patriot with reasonability that “keeps-a-going” for our town.

 

Respectfully,

Doug Darrell

Ctr. Barnstead
