Blessed Lenten Surprise

Dear Friends in Christ -

As we begin walking our Lenten journey, a special blessing has arrived in our midst - a Labyrinth.

A labyrinth is a path for meditative walking. Unlike a maze, there are no wrong turns, no dead ends. The intricate, winding path leads only to the center (symbolizing a place with God, heaven) and then out again (symbolizing God's guiding us out into the places he calls us).

The labyrinth will be available for walking tonight as part of our first Lenten Friday Soup Supper and Study night. It will also be available on Sunday afternoon. At tonight's supper, I'll give a little history of the labyrinth and helpful guidance for walking it.

I hope this labyrinth and the Lenten booklet written by our parishioners (you can pick one of those up tonight, too, if you didn't get one on Ash Wednesday) will provide just a couple of tools for your journey through Lent . . . into the arms of our living, loving Lord.

Faithfully,
Janet+
