La Mesa 11:15 am La Mesa y Café is a bilingual worship service of United Church to enhance the diversity, spirituality and faith of people in a radically welcoming and inclusive space where the table of the Lord becomes the sacred meeting space. Led weekly by Reverend David Mateo. Taizé Advent Service 7 pm Taizé is a style of Christian worship that originated in Taizé, France, some 75 years ago.  It is woven with Christian song and chants, interspersed with prayerful silence, scripture reading, more song, more prayer, and more silence.  The effect is profound and takes one deeper, beyond intellect, into the very heart of worship.  Be prepared to walk away from the experience refreshed, renewed, and at peace.   You will find that Taizé worship will satisfy the longing of your heart to be filled with God’s presence.
