From Charlene Johnston: A labyrinth will be one of the features of the Ascension Garden planned for Arborlawn. Walking a labyrinth is as humbling as bending a knee in prayer. Every walk is unique and meaningful.
A labyrinth is used to focus on a closer walk with our Savior. As you walk the winding path you release your control, thoughts, and troubles over to the Lord. During your journey you receive enlightenment, guidance, and encouragement. As you reach the center you feel at peace and are comforted by God. Leaving the center you are then ready to return to the world in union with God.
This commune with God is a type of therapy and worship that can benefit our Christian walk and that of others in our community. By providing this sacred space it opens another form of worship to our Lord and the opportunity to watch God transform us and the community around us.
If you would like to help us build this sacred space, donations for construction of the Ascension Garden can be made by sending checks made out to AUMC with “Ascension Garden” in the memo line.
