Experience the Labyrinth
Wednesday 24th November between 11am and 4pm
We welcome you to come and experience a labyrinth on Wednesday, or to come at any time during the week to chat or to find out more about Christianity.
Labyrinths have been used for Christian meditation and reflection for many centuries, from simple outdoor pathways to elaborate designs in cathedrals and abbeys.
A labyrinth used in this way is a journey in three parts. The first part (in towards the centre) is about shedding the cares of the outside world and turning towards God. The second part (the centre) provides an unhurried place to be still and give yourself over to God. The third part (out from the centre) is about taking what you have received back out into the world. The labyrinth journey is a personal one, and everyone experiences it in a different way.
