March 26-29, 2018 Labyrinth and Stations of the Cross (Binkley Baptist, Chapel Hill)
The labyrinth is an ancient spiritual tool. Its winding walk symbolizes a pilgrim’s walk with God. First recorded as used by Christians in the 4th century, the labyrinth is an archetype found in all religious traditions. In walking the labyrinth, you may pray, let go of burdens, meditate, rededicate mind and heart, or simply be.
Holy Week 2018 Offering: Ecumenical Labyrinth and the Stations of the Cross
During Holy Week, March 26-30, 2018, Binkley Baptist Church (1712 Willow Dr., Chapel Hill, NC) will be hosting an Ecumenical Labyrinth, open daily at 6:30 am and on Monday and Tuesday, until 8:30 pm, and Wednesday and Thursday, until 6:00 pm. You are invited to pray, meditate, release burdens, and listen to Divine nudgings as you walk the canvas replica of Chartes Cathedral labyrinth. You’ll find the labyrinth in the Sanctuary.
Walk down the hall to Binkley’s Fellowship Hall, and you will also find another opportunity: the Stations of the Cross, reflecting on mental illness and local resources for mental health. This compelling artistic rendering by Mary Button was first offered at University UMC during Lent 2016. As you walk the stations, you are invited to meditate on Christ’s suffering, even as you pray for persons with specific mental illnesses and consider local efforts to bring healing and hope. Please be mindful of groups who may be utilizing the Fellowship Hall space as it is not solely reserved for the display.
