One very special practice that is offered periodically throughout the year is our Labyrinth.  Walking the path of a labyrinth has been a meditative practice in many faith traditions across history.  Our own 36 foot labyrinth is patterned on the one found on the floor of the Chartes Cathedral in France, dating back to the Middle Ages.  The labyrinth symbolizes the journey to the center of our life with God.  It is also said to represent the ongoing cycles of birth, life, death, rebirth and the process of transformation and healing.  You cannot get “lost” in a labyrinth; it is not a maze. If you lose your way you will always find yourself returning to either the center or the entrance.  The labyrinth facilitates movement.  You can face whatever you need to face there.  Each person walks at their own pace for their own reason, receiving what the heart and soul truly needs.  We use the labyrinth here as a tool for prayer, reflection, spiritual renewal, healing and community building.   

UPCOMING WALKS:

Maundy Thursday, April 1, 8pm 

At this evening candle-lit service, we’ll hear the Gospel account of the Last Supper and share communion as Jesus and his disciples did on Holy Thursday more than 2,000 years ago. Throughout the telling of the story, the lights in the Sanctuary are extinguished, resulting in complete darkness. Before bringing young children, please consider how comfortable they will be sitting quietly for a few minutes in complete darkness.  

Our labyrinth will be laid in Plymouth Hall and guides will be on hand for those who wish to walk after the service. 

Good Friday, April 2, 7-8:30 pm  l  Walking the Way of the Cross Labyrinth Walk 

Join us as we set aside time to reflect on the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus. We will symbolically walk the way of the cross using the labyrinth while listening to the Scripture story of the Passion and death of our Savior. Please wear socks. Labyrinth guides will be on hand to assist new walkers or walk for those who are unable.
