Labyrinth Ministry:
Would You Like to Carry It On?
Trinity Cathedral has had a Labyrinth ministry for a number of years. Currently people are able to walk and pray the Labyrinth on the third Friday of the month at 6:00PM. The date and time can be changed if we are able to find a regular day and time of the week. Trinity's Labyrinth is canvas. Overseeing this type of prayer time involves getting to Trinity one hour before the scheduled start, rolling out the canvases, setting the environment with candles and meditative music and putting everything away at the end of the prayer time. The total time commitment (with a one hour prayer time that can be extended if desired) is three hours. One person has expressed an interest in continuing this ministry but needs at least two others to work with him. Is that you? If so, please contact Jerry Paré at the office (jpare111452@gmail.com; 916-930-8032) |
