The season of winter has begun and walking the labyrinth is an invitation to reflect, pray and experience God in the midst of all the holiday frenzy!

Come and walk the Labyrinth on Wednesday, September 22, from 6 pm until 7:30 pm.

The Labyrinth is a tool to use in contemplative prayer and meditation. Labyrinths are often confused with mazes. A maze has dead ends and blind alleys, while the labyrinth has only one path leading both in and out of the center.

The labyrinth is flat, one can always see the center. The destination is assured, so that the mind can be still and attentive.

Walking the labyrinth clears the mind and gives us insight into our spiritual journeys. The labyrinth does nothing on its own. It is simply a tool helpful for many people in deepening their prayer lives.

Each walk in and out of the labyrinth is a unique opportunity to meet our creative, loving God through contemplative prayer.

Thursday, April 1st – Holy Thursday Worship 7 pm:  Our Place at the Table
On this night Jesus gathered with the disciples and friends to share what we call the Last Supper.  He later went to the garden and prayed, knowing what was ahead.  Experience Holy Thursday by expressing yourself through art, gardening, cleansing, sharing a meal, and music.  Create something that you can take home as a remembrance of this night.

Friday, April 2nd – Good Friday Worship 7 pm:  Our Place at the Cross
The cross is more than just a piece of fashionable jewelry.  It is the fulfillment of the life and ministry of Jesus.  Discover your place at the cross with Jesus and the power it holds.

Lent is the period of time leading up to Easter.  It is a time of preparation of the believer for the annual commemoration during Holy Week where we reflect on the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Lent is forty days long, and represents the time that Jesus spent in the wilderness before the beginning of his public ministry.
