A Rocky Sunday - Getting Ready for October 5th

Thirty people, in less than one hour, and all the rocks were laid out along the markings to complete our outdoor labyrinth. It will be formally dedicated on Centennial Homecoming Sunday, October by The Rev. Elizabeth Haynes at 1:30 p.m. It will be known as "The Emmaus Walk" at St. Margaret's Church. This is a meditative garden area open to the public. Labyrinths are ancient spiritual tools. They were first built on the grounds of cathedrals in the Middle Ages when travel for Pilgrims was unsafe. Labyrinths are not to be confused with mazes that are designed to trick and fool and lead astray. When you faithfully follow the path of a labyrinth, it will take you safety to the center and back out again. Many people have found that walking to the center is a good time to either shed cares or to carry a question. Often labyrinth walkers linger quietly in the center. As they leave the center, they may find that they are carrying a boon or picking up good energy.
