A labyrinth is not a maze. In a labyrinth there is a clear path in and out. Prayer with a labyrinth has three movements.
As one moves toward the center of the labyrinth the person focuses on letting go of worldly attachments or coming to God with a question.
At the center, the person comes to the center of his or her relationship with God. One may linger in the center of the labyrinth, spending time reflecting on one’s relationship with God and praying.
Eventually, however, the need returns to move out into the world again. As the pilgrim leaves, she or he walks with Jesus back into places of ministry as a renewed person.
The Chapel at Countryside is open daily from 8 AM – 4 PM, Monday – Friday and we invite you to come walk the labyrinth we have set up. Please email the office if you have any questions office@countrysideucc.org.
