Labyrinth

The Labyrinth at St. Andrew UMC:
A Sacred Path for Spiritual Journey

The labyrinth at St. Andrew offers a contemplative space for prayer, meditation, and spiritual reflection. Unlike a maze with dead ends and confusion, our labyrinth provides a path that leads to the center and back out again—a metaphor for life's journey and our relationship with the divine.

How to Use the Labyrinth

Preparation: Begin with intention. Enter quietly, perhaps carrying a question, prayer, or simply openness to God's presence.
The Journey In: Walk slowly and mindfully toward the center, releasing worries and distractions. This represents letting go and preparing to receive what may unfold or emerge as you walk.
The Center: Pause in the heart of the labyrinth for prayer, meditation, or simply being present with God. Listen for guidance or rest in divine love.
The Journey Out: Walk the same path back, carrying insights, peace, or renewed purpose into the world.

The labyrinth welcomes all spiritual traditions and can be walked for quiet, discernment, clarity, or simply as a form of moving prayer. There's no "right" way to walk it, only your authentic spiritual experience unfolding with each step.
