“Trunk or Treat” October 31st between 5:00 and 7:00 pm. Trunk or Treat is the idea that a group of cars (and their drivers of course) with decorated trunks and cars gather on the manse parking lot, and kids go from car to car for treats, and other Halloween fun rather than going to individual homes. This is a great idea for people who purchase Halloween treats and have very few “trick or treaters”. Anyone wanting to participate, please contact Rev. Steph or Ron/Lynda to reserve a spot. You do not have to belong to the United Church to participate!!!
Our Labyrinth: Meditative Walking on The Labyrinth at the Manse on Tuesdays at 11:00 am. and Thursdays at 4:30 pm.
During inclement weather we’ll walk at the church.
A labyrinth is an ancient symbol of wholeness and a pilgrimage of faith. It is different than a maze in which one must always be choosing to go one way or another to try and figure out a way through . When attending to the path of a labyrinth, one cannot get lost and no decisions are needed to implement the journey except for the first one to begin walking. Labyrinths represents a journey or path to our own center where we might find a closer relationship to God. And then we turn back again into the world having spent time listening, praying and being led by the Spirit. Labyrinths have long been used as meditation and prayer tools.
Our labyrinth is 38 feet in diameter, 7 circuits, 0.3 kms walking distance (walking in and out).
