Walking through Lent together

Revisiting our theme of walking together through Lent, this Sunday after the 10:30 service (and a few minutes to chat and have a cup of coffee) all are invited to gather for a walk together in Resurrection’s labyrinth. 

The labyrinth is a tool for prayer that predates Christianity and has been used by people of many faith traditions. We’ll start our walk on Sunday with some instruction about the traditional Christian practice of the labyrinth as a path of purgation, illumination, and reunion, but there is no one right way to walk the path. 

A labyrinth is not a maze, but a single path. You are likely familiar with the large classic labyrinths inlaid in the floors of Chartres Cathedral in France or Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. Our labyrinth was designed and laid out with a much different aesthetic many years ago by artist Mike Van with help and input from the youth of the church to blend naturally with the woods where it lies. It is one of Resurrection’s treasures, and we have been privileged for many years to share it with many of our neighbors and people from around the area who seek it out as a more naturally attuned alternative.
