Candidating Week Vespers Service!


Vespers Service
Monday Night, April 18th, 2016
7:00-8:00pm 
Sanctuary, First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia
followed by meet & greet from 8:00-9:00pm

Following the format of the Taizé monastic community in France, this beautiful candlelit service will involve singing meditation, silence, reflection, and time of spiritual practice.

Are you interested in participating in the Service that will happen during First Unitarian's Candidating week? 

We’re looking for a group of lay musicians to support the service, including singers and instrumentalists. Musicians should arrive an hour before the service (6:00pm) to run through the short melodies and harmonies in order to support the congregational singing during the service. All of the music is simple and meditative – easy to pick up in an hour! No prior experience necessary.
