Ashby and Coalville Methodist Circuit

Labyrinth

A prayer labyrinth was held at Whitwick Methodist Church during March 2007. The church hall was set out with different ‘stations’ where individuals were challenged to take a look at themselves and their position on their spiritual journey. Images from God’s creation shone out on screens – where do you fit in, in God’s Creation?; a mirror was set up with chains surrounding it – an opportunity to take a look at yourself and to visualise if there was anything chaining you down in your journey; a wooden cross was laying on the floor with the opportunity to add a stone on the cairn as you said a prayer; a paper shredder and note pad was available to shred away doubts and obstacles in your life. It was a wonderful, peaceful and symbolic experience for those who attended.
