 Missing Labyrinth
We are looking for a labyrinth painted on a large canvas that a confirmation group at the United Methodist Church of Chugiak did years ago. It was made specifically for a United Methodist Women's event. If this rings a bell for anyone or you know where it is, please contact the conference office.
