Walk the Labyrinth – A Path to Prayer

On the first Sunday of each month, from 1-4 p.m., the Division of Social Awareness & Adult Ministries sponsors a Labyrinth Walk in Bates Hall.  The community is cordially invited to experience this unique and meaningful form of prayer.  The next Labyrinth Walk will be this afternoon, and you’re invited.

Walking the Labyrinth is an ancient spiritual practice of prayer and meditation that is being rediscovered in our time.  The 11-ringed pattern, painted on canvas, is modeled on the 13^th century labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral.   At that time, walking the labyrinth symbolized the Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem for people who could not personally make the journey.  Here at First Presbyterian Church, the Labyrinth is made available to the congregation and our wider community as a means for all of us to grow spiritually, discover new ways to pray, and deepen our connection to the living God.
