YOUTH "Time Out" to TAIZE: 17-22 October 2009

For young people aged between 15 -18 years. 3 nights in Taize and 2 nights in Lyon. Cost £200. Deposit £40 in by 24 May. Opportunity to explore your faith and life with other young people from around the world.

The days in Taizé can help us view our daily life in the light of the Gospel: praying together three times a day, reflecting on the wellsprings of the faith and working for others.

 Each day, brothers of the community introduce a Bible reflection, followed by a time of silence and sharing in small groups.

 In the afternoon, workshops help to deepen the relationship between faith and life in the areas of work, social questions, art and culture, the search for world peace….
