Join us for a monthly Taizé Prayer Service with First Pres Ann Arbor, now held virtually.

What is a Taizé Service?

This style of worship was developed at Taizé, a monastic community located in Taizé, France, founded in the 1940’s by a Swiss named Roger Louis Schütz-Marsauche or Brother Roger. The “brothers” of the community have taken a vow of celibacy and are committed to a lifetime of simplicity, service, and community. There is an ecumenical emphasis at Taizé, which says the community “wants its life to be a sign of reconciliation between divided Christians and between separated peoples.”

A Taizé worship service involves sung and chanted prayers, meditation, a period of silence, liturgical readings, and icons. There is no preaching. The style of prayer practiced at Taizé has attracted many worshipers from around the globe and from many different denominations. The prayers consist of “short chants, repeated again and again,” according to an introduction in a Taizé songbook. “The words are sung over many times.”

Taizé Services have been a practice of worshipping here at First Pres on Ash Wednesday. All are welcome!

Join us for our largest event of the year. In consideration of the pandemic, we'll be converting this event to a hybrid virtual/in-person experience. Keep an eye on our website for more information about the day's online entertainment. Due to last-minute changes to the football schedule, we’ve moved the blood drive to two locations in Ann Arbor: the Kensington Hotel near Briarwood Mall and the Graduate Ann Arbor downtown.

Blood donors are encouraged to donate blood at the biggest blood drive in Southeast Michigan. Blood donations will count towards the Blood Battle competition against OSU. Attendees also have the opportunity to join the organ donor registry or be screened as a bone marrow donor. There will be virtual entertainment, activities, giveaways, special guests, and more throughout the day. More information coming soon.



Make an appointment to donate blood at redcrossblood.org using sponsor code "goblue". For information about the Red Cross’ safety protocols during the pandemic, click here(link is external).

Can't make it to Be a Hero? Schedule a blood drive appointment between 10/28/2020 and 11/25/2020 to help us beat OSU in the annual Blood Battle competition! Visit www.redcrossblood.org(link is external) and enter promo code "goblue."

Veterans Week - the Diversity of the Military (November 12, 2020 4:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/68377 68377-20075967@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, November 12, 2020 4:30pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Veteran and Military Services

What does it mean to serve along people of every race, gender, creed, religion, place of origin? How does military service take people from different backgrounds and create an effective unit? Unknown to many, the United States Military is the most diverse employer in the US. It has constantly lead the way in expanding its meaning of servicemember and pushed racial, gender and sexual orientation boundaries decades before the civilian workplace. Come and hear from our panel about life in the military, what it can teach us about a diverse civilian culture and how veterans/military increase our own DIE initiatives.
