YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO COME AND WALK WITH US!
Our labyrinth is regularly available for
walking on the SECOND WEDNESDAY of each month from 5:00pm until
7:30pm. At special times the labyrinth will be available more often. These special occasions will be noted on this labyrinth link. Asbury First United Methodist Church is fortunate to have a permanent indoor labyrinth inlaid in the tile floor of our Fellowship Hall. This allows us to offer year round access to a unique spiritual meditative experience for our members and the community at large. Our labyrinth is modeled after an 800 year old labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France.
The following quote from the book, Praying The Labyrinth by Jill Kimberly Hartwell Geoffrion summarizes our hopes for those who walk the Labyrinth:
The Spiritual Life Committee of Asbury First is
responsible for the labyrinth. If you have any questions concerning the
labyrinth or would be interested in becoming a labyrinth steward
please contact committee members:
Deborah Pearce, Chairperson ( 249-9925)
Spiritual Life Committee membership or church
membership is not a requirement for serving as a labyrinth steward.
Labyrinth stewards are responsible for hosting and set up at the times
the labyrinth is available.
We invite our church members and community residents to use our
labyrinth at our regularly scheduled times. If you wish to schedule
special times for a group labyrinth walk please contact Melody
Guadagnino in our church office. She can be reached by phone at:
271-1050, X103 or email at:

Later this year we plan to conduct group orientation sessions for new
labyrinth walkers and those who would appreciate hearing more about the
origins and design of the labyrinth. Whenever the labyrinth is
available there are always stewards on site to assist those who are new
to the experience.
Asbury First's address is 1040 East Avenue. Enter at the rear parking lot entrance and follow signs to the Labyrinth.
