During Lent, we are reading and discussing a book of daily meditations, Not by Bread Alone. Each week is independent and has its own theme, so please come, learn, share and grow in your journey with Christ. Anglican Nights features a program of ”Doing Prayer.”

In Anglican Nights, we are continuing our series of "Doing Prayer" with an opportunity to walk the labyrinth.  Labyrinths are ancient symbols related to wholeness.  Labyrinths also help us identify that we are all on a spiritual journey.  "Walking the sacred path" directly relates as a metaphor for life's journey. The twists and turns of the labyrinth embody our road in life.  With each turn, there is the opportunity for prayer and releasing the burdens of the day.  When the center of the labyrinth is reached, there are prayers for our  empowerment in going out into the world, healed, whole and renewed. Our sacred journey is about change, growth, uncovering our gifts, transformation by the Holy Spirit, and continually stretching our souls.  The labyrinth offers a unique opportunity to experience a magnificent journey that shapes our lives.   

The labyrinth is on loan until after Easter, so there will be other opportunities to experience this purposeful path to the holy. 

As we continue in this most Holy Lent, Holy Week is fast approaching. This year Holy Week and Master’s Week are the same week. It truly calls us to worship the Master of our lives. During the busyness of the week, I hope that you take some time to worship together as the Body of Christ, the Church. We are all strengthened in communal worship. There will be many opportunities to recall the death and resurrection of Christ. Daily noon services during Holy Week will be held in community churches with St. Michael’s hosting the Monday service.
