Good Friday Indoor Labyrinth Walk Vigil in Warren Township

Warren Twp. A Good Friday Labyrinth Vigil will be held from noon to 3pm April 6 at Trinity United Church, 118 King George Rd.

The church doors will be open from noon to 3pm for people to walk the indoor labyrinth, sit in meditative prayer and light candles. This is the fourth year Trinity has opened its doors, turning the sanctuary into a candlelit haven for observing a traditional Good Friday vigil.

The 3 hour vigil will conclude the Lenten season, the 40 days of preparation leading up to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, in the same manner with which it began: with candle lighting, prayers and a Lenten walk through its indoor labyrinth.

From walking the large in-door labyrinth to simply sitting in silence, there are several opportunities for those who wishing a quiet space for prayer, says coordinator, Cyndy Reames. For those who are looking for something specific to pray about, we offer Prayer Points, areas around the sanctuary dedicated to various needs including world hunger, our service men and women, inner peace for ourselves. But all are welcome to prayer in their own way and for whatever need is on their heart.

The labyrinth is one of the oldest contemplative and transformational tools known to humankind, used for centuries for prayer, ritual and personal spiritual growth, said Heather Vaklosin, Director of Pastoral Care at Trinity. It is a powerful spiritual symbol that speaks to our souls in a way that transcends all creeds and beliefs. Walking the labyrinth has something to offer everyone.

The church, a combined United Church of Christ/Presbyterian Church of the U.S.A. is also Open and Affirming.

Doors will open at 10:30am Easter Sunday April 8 for the annual Easter celebration.
