We Did It!
The Labyrinth Matching Campaign was a huge success! We have received the funds we need to begin construction. THANK YOU, ASBURY!
Over 140 Asbury families and friends joined together to help make the garden a future reality. We treasure your prayers, partnership, and support that you have offered over the last year.
We are in the process of working with the construction company on the next steps. So, stay tuned for additional updates and more information as we develop the construction timeline.
What is a prayer labyrinth?
Asbury’s vision and hope is to build a labyrinth garden on the campus outside the sanctuary on the first floor. What is now an unused spot of dirt and weeds, can hopefully be transformed into a place of hope, healing, and communion with God. The garden will be open to all.
Asbury members & friends walk a prayer labyrinth as part of a Maundy Thursday contemplative experience.
Many labyrinths are circular with a single winding path into and out of the center. There are no obstacles or dead ends as in a maze. As each step is taken, you get closer and closer to God, who is there beside you and waiting for you as you reach the center of the labyrinth.
For centuries, labyrinths have been a spiritual symbol of a pilgrimage toward God. It is on this sacred pilgrimage that our wondering soul walks humbly with God, welcoming the Divine to the center of our lives.
What will the garden look like?
The garden will include a prayer labyrinth, water fountain, and a variety of trees, shrubbery, and flowers. Benches will be placed throughout the garden.
